Celebrating the 80th Birthday of the Grand Ole Opry... The unveiling of the Minnie Pearl bronze
statue sculpted by Bill Rains of Billings, Montana, project developed by Rod Harris Centerville, Tennessee.
From left to right Grand Ole Opry Manager Pete Fisher, Minnie, Sculptor Bill Rains, Rod Harris and Opry Star
Steve Wariner, Saturday October 15th 2005. Statue commissioned by Rod and Jennifer Harris Centerville,
Tennessee. Photo by Chris Hollo used with permission. On October 26, 2005 the bronze likeness was placed on
Centerville Square which was agreed to be a permanent site not to be removed.
(In 2009 Centerville Officials breeched the contractual agreement causing the removal by Rod Harris) The
Centerville Board of Mayor and Aldermen reviewed an opinion from its attorney, who advised that the terms of
the placement agreement did not allow them to move the statue. After discussion, the board voted 10-0 to
"proceed with plans to revitalize the Square," as previously approved, "and move it!". A flagrant breech of
contract by the Centerville Board of Aldermen and Mayor against the advice of the attorney.
The Grinder's Switch Winery is the current temporary home of the popular work of art by the legendary
Montana Sculptor and Artist MR Bill Rains the famous larger then life bronze statue of Miss Minnie Pearl.
Visit the Winery and bring your camera for an up close encounter before the spring tour of the art begins. For
