Happy (warm) May Day! Stuff is happening fast in the Wassenberg Art Park! You can see the promenade coming from the art center, the circular form of Central Park and the adjacent circle that will house the grain bin concession stand. A shout out to Alexander & Bebout, Current Energy Solutions, Laurie\u2019s Naturescapes and everyone who are helping us make this space beyond cool. This is true community.<\/p>\n
