The City of Poway will soon be unveiling a statue of their most famous citizen --baseball legend Tony Gwynn, also known as Mr. Padre.
A bronze statue, designed by Texas artist Seth Vandable, will be unveiled on May 9, which was Gwynn's birthday.
Poway broke ground on the Tony Gwynn Memorial in July, 2016.

A donor wall will accompany the statue with recognizing those who donated at least $250.
The unveiling and dedication will start at 10:30 a.m. on May 9 in Poway, San Diego County.
