Arts in the Park 2020

Rainsticks and Thunder Drums! Buzzz and Shake! Dianna held two COVID safe workshops where participates built a bee shaker, learned about pollinators from Interpretive Manager Teresa Rody, then created music together with their own instruments and wood frogs that they got to take home with them! Dianna created kits that participates used during the activity. Each kit contained the tools needed for the project and three different sized masks - so everyone could stay safe!  It was fun for all ages. This project was made possible by the support of the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
