A life-size fiberglass sculpture of the beloved Fanny the Elephant was placed today in the Raymond Kinder playground in Slater Park in Pawtucket. Sculptor Chris Kane is the man behind the figure memorializing the elephant, who once lived at the park's zoo. In 1993, after the zoo closed, Fanny was relocated to a Texas sanctuary, where she died in 2003. The sculpture is being officially unveiled tomorrow.
