The leaping sturgeon in the Kennebec River should expect some competition next summer. By then, 25 colorful, life-size sturgeon of the fiberglass variety are to be installed in and around downtown Augusta. “It’s a way to get people down here,” said Michael Hall, executive director of the Augusta Downtown Alliance. “It will be a semipermanent exhibit. They’re made of a very durable material. It’s a fun way to add some color and create some art.”
