Apologies first. On a previous post I referred to East Princes street gardens as the site for the installation of the statue of San Diego’s dog. I should have said WEST Princes Street Gardens, and that is where the ceremony will take place.
We are now 99% certain that the event will take place on Saturday 19 July commencing 12 noon within the West Princes Street Gardens just inside the King’s Stables Road entrance. This area is undergoing considerable renovation, will be particularly attractive, and compliment the upgrading taking place in the Grassmarket.
A number of visitors from San Diego will be in attendance, including we hope Jessica McCain the Artist responsible for the statue.
We applied for the use of the Ross Bandstand in the gardens for the preliminaries leading up to the unveiling of the statue, unfortunately it is unavailable, but it is possible we may be able to hire a hall in St Cuthbert’s Church next door. That will probably be better especially in the event of inclement weather.
There are a few small details to work out, but the planning is moving along nicely. We plan on a splendid party for all concerned!
