Residents in Lancaster were in for a treat on New Year’s Eve when the iconic red rose made its return after a small hiatus. The original rose made it’s debut in 1993 and its creator is Victor Capecce, Professor of Emeritus at Millersville University.  The idea of the rose rising was born out of the Lancaster County Artists Association.

“It was nearly eight feet in diameter. The base, the foundation based that I had created was actually two pieces of right inch plywood side by side.”

Listen to the podcast to hear Capecce’s story.
