George B. Wright Statue Centennial Celebration

Thursday, July 16, 2026 | 6:45 PM | Wright Park, Fergus Falls, MN

Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the George B. Wright Statue in Wright Park with an evening of history, music, and community. Originally dedicated on July 16, 1926, the statue, created by sculptor Harriet Clark Hanley, honors George B. Wright, one of Fergus Falls' most influential early civic leaders.

The celebration begins with live music by the Carlisle Band at 6:45 PM, followed by a commemorative program at 7:15 PM featuring historical remarks, special guests, and a few surprises—including a 1920s costume contest. Treats will be available, and all are welcome to attend this free community event.

The celebration also recognizes the recent cleaning and preservation of the Wright statue, made possible through the support of the Otter Tail County Historical Society, Otter Tail Power Company, and private donors.
