The Mane Event Is:

• A public arts celebration, supported by Leadership Wichita Falls, Class of 2007.
• A fund-raising project to fund improvements and needed equipment for Patsy’s House and Faith Mission, and boost community pride through Downtown Wichita Falls Development, Inc

The Mane Event is patterned after similar successful projects in other cities where large fiberglass animals are designed and decorated by local artists and placed throughout the sponsoring cities …like the longhorns in Southlake, the horses in Amarillo, the pigs in Little Rock, and the cows in Chicago. Take time to explore this website. Plan now to participate in the festivities, get acquainted with our fabulous horses, meet the artists involved, and acknowledge the many sponsors who support The Mane Event.
