When fine art meets rain barrels, it is the birth of something beautiful. It's the 2008 Rain Barrel Reveal! Throughout the month of April, these 18 rain barrels (lovingly painted by local artists) are on display throughout Springfield. Sneak a peek at the rain barrels at these locations: Battlefield Mall, Border's Books, Coffee Ethic, Cox Health Center, Gailey's Breakfast Café, Mama Jeans, Moxie Cinema, St. John's Hospital, Springfield Nature Center, Well-Fed Head Books.

 Then, the moment we've waited for... the REVEAL (where all the barrels
are unveiled at once). Rain Barrel Reveal (at Artsfest) takes place May 3-4 Walnut Street. See all the barrels, then come home, log on and bid!  On May 3-11, these barrels will be auctioned via eBay. Watch this site to bid on your favorite barrel, beginning May 3 ending on May 11, 2008

For more details, call Marina Cannon at (417) 836-3756.

All proceeds from this event benefit the James River Basin Partnership.
