Csukás István emlékmű

"The statue of Bagaméri, the ice cream parlor, was erected in front of the former Vigadó building on September 26, 2013. Attila Pintér's work was inaugurated on September 28. he was selling ice cream in Kisújszállás in the middle of the last century, when the local-born István Csukás spent his childhood in the settlement. “It’s hardly more flattering to a writer than to erect a statue of the figure he created,” the storyteller said happily when he learned that his character was being cast into a statue. Bagaméri’s statue and ice cream car stand on a stone pedestal. Resting benches were placed in a semicircle. The popular Bagaméri hands over a funnel of ice cream to the children. "/Közt térkép.hu/
