Kent unveiled its Bicentennial Sculpture, created by artist George Danhires, at a ceremony Sunday afternoon downtown.
The sculpture, commissioned in 2006 as part of Kent's Bicentennial Celebration, will stand on park land between the Pufferbelly restaurant and the downtown gazebo on Franklin Avenue.
The sculpture unveiling coincided with the marking of the opening of the Main Street Bridge on Sept. 25, 1877. The Kent Historical Society organized an event to mark the bridge's 134th birthday.
