1. Pioneer Plaza<\/strong> – <\/strong>a herd of bronze cattle was coming down the hill and into the river. The lifelike exhibit was the work of Robert Summers of Glen Rose, Texas. He devoted much of his artistic life to the creation of lifelike cows on a cattle drive. Each cow took a year or so. The first few were placed without permission and admired until the city created Pioneer Park and began supporting Mr. Summer’s art. His children continue to create additional cows, and the herd slowly grows over time.<\/p>\n
