More Salmon Sculptures and One for the Halibut

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers annually sponsors an art show and auction titled, "Wild Salmon on Parade." The event kicks off in early June in Anchorage with a party and a display of all 30 of the entries. The sculptures are then displayed at various locations throughout Anchorage and then auctioned off in September. The auction proceeds benefit various nonprofit organizations.

"Reel Fish"

Here's a salmon whose heart is in Hollywood, not Alaska. A spawning salmon may look viscious, but this one wants to be a star. After all, his buddy the shark made it big. Julie Rychetnik is the artist who created this sculpture. Coming soon to a theater near you.



"Fish and Chips"

Stewart Allison has created a halibut sculpture instead of a salmon sculpture and appears to have an Ace high. Allison's halibut is promoting the local poker game, Alaska Hold 'Em. As you may know, Texas Hold 'Em is only played in secrecy here.

Dogs playing poker is so yesterday. Halibut playing poker is what is really cool.
