LOCATION: Avoca, Iowa GRANTEE: Avoca Public Library
"It’s a fun part of the town now,” says Sunshine Schoeller, an Avoca resident, about the city’s new "music park" outside of the public library. The location’s oversized, weather-proof
instruments require neither training nor talent to play. During the summer, Avoca closes its main street for a weekly farmers market. The instruments provide a stay and play area that
encourages people to spend time outdoors and enjoy the downtown.
