Connecting people with Nature & Art since 1997

Programs & Events

Thank you corn-lovers!
You really showed us how much you love the beloved Midwest staple by turning out for the album release of The Opera Bell Band's Salute to Corn! In spite of the heat, over 100 folks came out Sunday, June 28 and enjoyed the festive and oh-so-fun concert. With a corn petting zoo, corn potluck, bobbing for cob station, and so much more, The Opera Bell Band created an amazing event for every kind of corn-y fan.
