Just Chillin' Banana Has New First Name: Lenny
A contest was held to give the 7-foot banana in Jack Hill's sculpture Just Chillin' his own first name. Beth Messervey won the contest with her name suggestion of Lenny for the banana! A special event was held to announce Beth as the winner and she was rewarded with a shelf-sized sculpture by Jack Hill.
A big thank you to everyone who donated the funds that allowed us to purchase Jack Hill's fun and whimsical sculpture Just Chillin' -- it was the 46th sculpture added to our permanent collection. You can find Lenny, the banana, at the Saul Alexander Playground (#22 on the Sculpture Guide map and tour).
