Aggie Spirit

The life-size sculpture was created to capture the tradition and feel of a student Bonfire worker. Although Hayes did not attend TAMU, he learned the traditions from his friends.  The 90-year-old Bonfire tradition came to a tragic end in 1999 when the log structure collapsed, killing 12 Aggies and injuring 27.  His hope is that the sculpture reflects the strength and inspiration that A&M students give the Bryan-College Station area.
