TIME COLUMN AT TARGI KIELCE

"The Time Column" was dismantled in 2007, when the multi-level car-park was being constructed. Now it has found a new location at Targi Kielce. Having been granted the Kielce Mayor's consent to restore the obelisk and set in the new location, the hourglass was obtained from the by District Greener and Communal Services Enterprise's warehouses and thoroughly renovated.  Krakow-based Wojciech Talaga's Silverart Workshop covered the hourglass with gold. The 12 signs of the zodiac that surround the column have also been renovated and reconstructed. In order to make even greater impression, the pedestal set in Targi Kielce has been spot-lit.

The ceremonial hourglass closing made was graced with the presence of Kielce Mayor Wojciech Lubawski, Targi Kielce Management Board President Andrzej Mochoń PhD, sculptor Sławomir Micek and Director of the Administrative and Technical Department at Targi Kielce Jacek Nowak.

- In 1999, as president of Kielce Regional Development Agency, one of the four founders of "the Time Column" I participated in the procedure of the hourglass closing.  Thus this is my personal "sentimental journey". On the letter to future generations there is, inter alia my own signature- says Andrzej Mochoń PhD, President of Board at  Targi Kielce  - Among items enclosed within, there were also badges of 1999's International Defence Industry Exhibition and Logistics Fair.

Now the hourglass has now been supplemented still current message of Targi Kielce's President Andrzej Mochoń, Mayor Wojciech Lubawski and clippings from today's newspapers as welll as coins and MSPO postcards.
