SUMMARY:5th Annual Sharpening | Lake of the Isles Pencil
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited from 1:00 to 2:30 pm for Sharpening Festivities. \nAs the Pencil is a “living” installation\, it is sharpened annually with fanfare. Sharpening events showcase community figures\, artists\, and innovators. Over the years\, the sculpture changes and evolves\, just as the pencil in the hand of a student during the school year does. \nThe program includes storytelling about the project and comments by the artist. David Rees\, the Number One #2 Pencil Sharpener in the world\, will oversee the sharpening and add his wit to the program. DJ Jake Rudh will serve as house DJ during the festivities. Expect t-shirt giveaways\, the University of Minnesota Pep Band\, ice cream and music.  \nIn the Spring of 2022\, Curtis Ingvoldstad shaped a 20-foot-tall\, 32-inch diameter wind-damaged bur oak snag on the lawn of a prominent Minneapolis Lakes home into an enormous No. 2 Pencil. Every year on the first Saturday in June\, the Minneapolis community comes together to watch the pencil be sharpened. \n
