Lewisville Sculpture Series – Hop Into History “The Bandit”

The Bandit, by Kaitlin West, retells the origin story of the “Fighting Farmer” when high school football players chased down a bank robber fleeing a heist at a bank on Main Street in 1946. In West’s interpretation of the story, the jackrabbit is the Bandit with a money bag in hand. Visitors wanting to step into a bit of history can pose alongside the 1940s-era football cleats pursuing the rabbit robber. The Bandit is located in South Poydras Plaza (on the south side of the 100 block of W. Main Street), “running” toward the south just as the real robber ran in 1946.
