Buies Creek, N.C. – A 2,800 pound bronze sculpture of Campbell’s Fighting Camel mascot was erected in front of the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center on Monday, May 2. Made possible by a gift from North Carolina entrepreneur Irwin Belk, the camel is a commissioned work by Atlanta, Ga. sculptor and painter Gregory Johnson. Johnson’s work also graces the campuses of North West Missouri University, Hobart Institute in Troy, Ohio and the Georgia Power Southern Company, among numerous other sites.
