This steel baby elephant is approximately 5 ft. high and stands on a large concrete cube. Its trunk is raised high trumpeting with excitement.
The significance of an elephant sculpture in Hugo is due to the town being known as Circus City-USA. It has been the wintering home for traveling circuses since 1937. Currently the Kelly Miller Circus and the Carson and Barnes Circus still hunker down in Hugo when the Winter winds come.
