Physical description: 1 photograph : digital, tiff file, color. Notes: Forms part of: Lyda Hill Texas Collection of Photographs in Carol M. Highsmith's America Project in the Carol M. Highsmith Archive.; Title, date, and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.; Rather than downplay this event as a smear on its reputation, Hildalgo spent $20,000 to erect a statue to the event and to even promote itself as the "Killer Bee Capital," not just of America but of the world! The town even named its arena-league football team called the "Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees." The statue, built largely of styrofoam was used as a float. It traveled all over Texas, attending parades and promoting Hidalgo, before settling down in Hidalgo as a fixed tourist attraction.; Sculpted by Jerome Vettrus (Source: A comprehensive guide to outdoor sculpture in Texas, p. 246); Gift; The Lyda Hill Foundation; 2014; (DLC/PP-2014:054).; Credit line: The Lyda Hill Texas Collection of Photographs in Carol M.
