Lola Weems (middle) and her husband McKinley Weems (right) both of Eureka Springs enjoy the shade of an umbrella during the 40th Anniversary of the Dedication of the Christ of the Ozarks Statue Saturday morning at the grounds of The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs. Diane McClelland (far left) presented her father McKinley Weems with a miniature Christ of the Ozarks statue in recognition of his accomplishment in engineering the original statue (back left).
