Seabrook, Texas, on Galveston Bay and Clear Lake,half way between Galveston and Houston, is theproud home to three species of pelicans. The brownpelican, a year round resident and seen frequently onthe Bay and lagoons, the white pelican, a migratorybird that visits annually from October through April,and our 30+ varieties of the 6 to 8 ft. tall fiberglasspelicans throughout the streets of our city.

It should be noted that the fiberglass variety can bespotted only in Seabrook, Texas with the exception ofone wayward bird (our "Ambassador") that has foundits way to the Chicago Zoo and plans to spend thewinter of 2001-2002 in Beaufort, South Carolina.

Credit must be given to Cheri Smith and MarcyFryday who hatched up the idea of the Pelican PathProject to promote the City of Seabrook. Whenthese two tenacious, head strong and pushy womencame to me with the idea of fiberglass pelicans alonga pelican path, I figured the idea would go the way ofthe Dodo bird. Was I ever wrong!

Now, all along the streets of Seabrook, residents,merchants and visitors enjoy these uniquely designedpelican species. Perched in all their glory they are

fast becoming the most photographed bird on the GulfCoast. It is my humble privilege to say thank you toCheri and Marcy and all the other people that havemade this project a success. I hope you enjoy thepelicans of Seabrook (all three species) as much as I do.

Thank you, Jack C. Fryday, MayorCity of Seabrook, Texas

In a brainstorm meeting June 2000, Marcy Fryday and I, in associationwith the Seabrook Merchant and Tourist Association, agreed thatSeabrook needed some project to boost citizen and business enthusiasm aswell as attract visitors and tourists. We agreed this project had to createan identity for the City of Seabrook. When seeing just how much otherpublic art “critter” projects had been successful in other communities, wesaid why not! The Pelican was the perfect choice as we are home to hun-dreds of brown pelicans throughout the year, and the beautiful white peli-cans that migrate from Northern America and Canada during fall andwinter months of September through April. We must tell you that manypeople looked at both of us and said, ”There is no way you will be able tocomplete such a large project.” That is one way to get two type A,aggressive girls motivated!

In March 2001, the 6' and 8' larger-than-life pelicans began to show upon the streets of Seabrook. Some are whimsical; others focus onSeabrook as a bird sanctuary, while others represent regional attractions,sports, and the beauty of the area.

We have been so excited with the community support, large sponsor sup-port, and incredible interest both locally, regionally, and nationally.

There have been sudden sightings, and there have been ribbon cuttings tocelebrate the unveiling. Each new Pelican attracts attention, and childrenand families are seen being photographed as the pelicans reach theirlanding point.

To date there are approximately 31 pelicans on displayand when the project is complete there may be as many as40. Our Pelican Ambassador, Sailing into Seabrook, hasspent the summer at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo as part oftheir City Critter Project. The City of Chicago brought 40critters from 40 different cities to participate in this nationalpromotion of public art. Our Ambassador Pelican’s nextdestination is Beaufort, South Carolina, where it will repre-sent the City of Seabrook through February 2002. Locallythere are Pelican Path Maps located in area businessesand other spots throughout Seabrook. There will even bemaps distributed in Sulphur, Louisiana, at Cajun Charlie’sRestaurant where beginning in October, Flight overSeabrook will be displayed.

We will tell you there were learning curves and challenges ateach bend in the road of this project, and sometimes weshook our heads and said, “what have we gotten ourselvesinto” ! We both just looked at each other, laughed and saidwe will persevere, and the Pelican Path Project will succeed!Both of us want to give a special thanks to the WACOWcommittee in Waco, and Bob Batcher in Norfolk Virginia.These individuals were so helpful in sharing some of theirchallenges as well as to advise us on areas to help us stayon the right track.

There were many times when all we could do was sit downand laugh. One day we received a call from City Hall thata resident looked out her window and had a strange 6-footdinosaur creature in her driveway. One of the artists haddelivered their pelican to the wrong location, and this womanwas totally surprised when she looked out her window while

doing dishes! Then there was the time when on a Sundaynight we contacted a sponsor, Lance Stephens, owner ofthe Turtle Club Bar & Restaurant, and asked him what hadhe done with Scuba Pelican. Lance assumed we wereteasing. Well, obviously after much fun and a bit of overconsuming, a couple of his customers thought they shouldsee if Scuba Peli could really scuba dive at a local hotel pool. Fortunately Scuba did notdrown, and is now back on his perch!

These magnificent Pelicans will remain on display inSeabrook for some time, and we are hoping that this pro-ject will encourage other cultural arts and public art pro-jects in our fine city.

Unveiling of the first four pelicans at Seabrook's CityHall, March 2001.


TThhee BBiirrtthhiinngg OOff TThhee PPeelliiccaannssInitial Pelican creation included interviewing numerous designersand fabricating processes. This was probably one of the mostgrueling aspects of the project. Finally the first pelican designwas sculpted, and a fiberglass fabricator was secured. Next, wehad to see that the design was structurally engineered so that onceplaced it would withstand hurricane force winds. It was at thispoint when we presented our ideas to members of the Hotel MotelOccupancy Tax Committee and the City Council of Seabrook.We were overwhelmed with their great encouragement, and theirgenerous support in the way of seed money to help us get thisproject flying!

Thanks to Randy and Connie Lange, Progressive FiberglassFabricators, we mastered the first mold and structural design! Webegan production and started matching pelicans to artists from thejuried artists process.

Creation of the first pelican mold

- Continued From Previous Page

Once seven pelicans of Design One had been fabricated, itwas determined that a Design Two would add a greaterdimension to the project. Again, thanks to Randy andConnie, we found Paul Urbanek. With his 35 years of cre-ative art display background, and his incredible commercialartistic skill, Design Two was berthed and now both pelicanspecies were a big hit. It is often funny to find that peopleare very opinionated as to the design they prefer!

Calls for artists were sent out in two phases. Each artistsubmitted their bio, copies of previous work, a drawing oftheir proposed pelican creation, and a design conceptstatement. Each pelican had its own unique style andcharacter! Artists of all ages responded from throughoutthe state of Texas. One pelican was a project of TheCommunity Artists Collective in Houston. This fascinatingorganization offers a variety of learning opportunities in artto the community and provides a safe haven to constructive-ly engage children, adults, and families in the visual arts.Another pelican was the creativity of a 12-year-old younglady. Her pelican, Tattoo, was designed specifically torelate to children of all ages and backgrounds, and we areproud to say she and Tattoo were highlighted in theHouston Chronicle YO! section.

As the artists completed their pelicans, installation was thenext step! Pavestone, Inc. greatly assisted us by fabricat-ing our concrete bases. With pelican and bases “in hand,”we were on to placement, and this part sounds simple. Weneglected to consider that moving an 1800-lb. concretebase might be a bit of a challenge, and it is a sure betMarcy and I had never run a fork-lift before! HarryAinsworth came to the rescue! Every Saturday and

Sunday morning Harry would place concrete pads with thetwo of us giving on-site to the inch placement instructions.Then he mounted each of the pelicans absolutely perfectly!We could not have done it without Harry!

Proudly we can now say that almost all of our Pelicans havehatched and are prominently perched at their favorite homes.Bay Area Media Services added the perfect touch at thispoint. They have given us the benefit of their wonderful mar-keting by way of our web site (wwwwww..ppeelliiccaannppaatthhpprroojjeecctt..ccoomm),designing the Pelican Path Project book, designing ourPelican Path maps, and the list goes on.

Without the wonderful support of the sponsors, artists,volunteers, and one generous community, we can assureyou the Pelican Path Project would not have hatched!Thank you to everyone! We hope residents, merchants,and visitors alike will enjoy traveling the path to visit eachone of our incredible Pelican species. While doing so, donot forget to enjoy the free-flying brown pelicans who residewith us year round, and the free-flying white pelicans whomigrate to the Seabrook area each September!

Located alongClear Lake and

just a couple milesdown NASA Road 1from Seabrook is

the Johnson SpaceCenter, home of the manned space

program and mission control.

Although the Bay Area and Seabrook have matured and diversified overthe years, it was the "Space Race" that led to the development of theJohnson Space Center (JSC) and caused a growth spurt in the surround-ing communities such as Seabrook. Located just down the street fromSeabrook along Clear Lake, JSC -- home of mission control and themanned space program -- and the many aerospace companies calling theBay Area home are a sense of pride for all who work, live and play inSeabrook and the Bay Area as a whole. So it should not come as a sur-prise that NASA is well represented in the Pelican Path Project withMission Control Mike representing all of those behind the scenes who workor have worked on the space program and Wally, our astronaut pelican,

representing the program as a whole andthe numerous area residents and formerarea residents who have represented thearea and our country while in space.

Seabrook, Texas, a city of some 10,000 resi-dents, is centrally located on Galveston Baybetween Houston and Galveston. Seabrookand the surrounding area make up the thirdlargest boating community in the nation. Withits prime bay location and small town heritage,Seabrook’s development focus has been topromote small business and high-end residen-tial development. The environment has alwaysplayed a key role in the city’s priorities whichis exemplified by its bird sanctuary status,wildlife and wetland focus, its position alongthe largest migratory path in North American,and its identity as home to the pelicans bothbrown and white species. While the whiteNorth American and Canadian pelicans areonly residents from September through April,the brown pelicans are permanent residentsyear round. This focus on the environment can be appreciated throughout themore than 100 acres of parks and trails that are all around Seabrook.

Seabrook is taking great steps to expand its economic development, and thereare immense waterfront expansion opportunities as well as family and residentialgrowth. Seabrook has its own place in history, as a rumored place where JeanLafitte’s fortune is buried, as a summer home location in the 1850s to some of therich and famous in Houston, a confederacy training area, home to numerousearly and existing astronauts, and located just minutes from NASA.

Seabrook is characterized by its naturally beautiful waterfront community, and itis expanding its attraction to the cultural arts community Though Seabrook wasincorporated in 1964, we are also proud of the fact that the town was namedafter Seabrook Snyder. Seabrook Snyder’s company, The Seabrook LandCompany of Houston, filed and recorded the revised layout of the town site ofSeabrook on March 1, 1903. This, a proud year, offers us the excitement to cel-ebrate our centennial in 2003.
