Artistic Rain Barrel Auction

Hey guys! Remember those Artistic Rain Barrels?!

They will be auctioned off on April 18th at 9:30a.m. at the Pioneer's Park Nature Market. This will be a live auction and I believe bidding will start at $50. The barrels themselves cost me approx $100 a piece, not including what the artist spent on paint. With the purchase of each barrel you will be providing a child with a chance to go to camp or preschool at the Nature Center.
