Princess Pat Carved from a Tree

A group of women in vintage clothing stands in a line outdoors, balancing on one leg with their arms linked, smiling and posing together for the camera. Trees and sunlight are visible in the background.

Every camper’s favorite princess is being honored with a new statue in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.

Sculptor James McMahon is carving the image out of the trunk of a spruce tree.

While we know that the correct lyrics of the popular camp song are not “The Princess Pat lived in a tree.…” perhaps they can be updated to “…carved from a tree”?
