Jon Hair, an official sculptor of both the US Olympic Team and the US Olympic Committee, has been invited by the PRC government to create a 24-foot sculpture entitled "8" for the Beijing International Sculpture Park. In Chinese culture, the number "8" is considered lucky. 
The sculpture must be in place by August 8, 2008, when the Beijing Olympic Games are scheduled to begin. Corporate and private sponsors for the $150,000 project have the opportunity to create good will and have a permanent presence in Beijing. Contact InformationJon D.
