Showalter Fountain fish back and swimming

Physical plant workers install one of the Showalter fish Friday morning. All five fish have been restored and are back swimming around Venus in the Showalter Fountain.

Venus Bronze Works Inc. restored and repaired the fish after one was broken during the Nearly Naked Mile last fall. Another was stolen last summer and never found.

Curator of Campus Art Sherry Rouse oversaw the plant’s installation of the four refinished fish and one replacement fish. Rouse said she hopes to have the basin filled with water and the fish spouting by next weekend so graduating students can take their picture next to the fully renovated fountain.
