Route 66 sculpture created by students erected in Riverton

A steel Route 66 shield sculpture created by high-school students went up Thursday along Route 66 on the west side of Riverton, Kansas.

KSNF-TV filed this story about it:

The sculpture is 20 feet tall and required about two years of work from Riverton FFA students, with guidance from FFA adviser Jacob Larison.

Cherokee County contributed $300 for the project, which cost about $700 in materials. The Kansas Department of Transportation also donated scrap metal.

The sculpture stands near an informational Route 66 kiosk on a roundabout intersection just outside Riverton.
