Have you seen the angel sculpture just a couple of miles south of the State Highway 30 and State Highway 91 Intersection at Lake Wilson, MN? She is the creation of well-known sculptor Primi Manteiga, who has been living in the Chandler, MN, area for the past ten months. “I wanted a sculpture at the end of the driveway that would attract the attention of those who pass by,” Manteiga explained. “I thought and thought about it and decided that an angel should be there.” Manteiga named the sculpture “Los Arcangeles.” To read the rest of this article - and to see other photos, pick up a copy of the Murray County News or you can read it on line - subscriptions to The Murray County News are available online.
