Necklaces for Hugh McManaway show all ages can recycle

Drivers at the intersection of Providence and Queens Roads might have noticed Hugh McManaway donned some colorful accessories earlier this week.

Fourteen Myers Park United Methodist pre-school students (age 3) strung together dozens of applesauce bottle caps to give the well-known golden statue a bright necklace. They painted a poster propped atop his feet reading, "Children of Charlotte: You can recycle too!" 

"It's a great reminder to kids that they can recycle," said Carrie Day, one of the teachers of the class.
