A group of Christians in Rush Springs installed two massive, granite tablets with the Ten Commandments inscribed on them outside of a downtown business.

Duane Gibbs, 75, owns the business at the corner of N. Rush and W. Blakely in the heart of downtown Rush Springs. He says his church and several others had been planning the monuments for weeks, paid for them and installed them in time for the large crowds from the Rush Springs Watermelon Festival to see them this past weekend.

Gibbs said people waited in line this weekend to take pictures with the statues.
