ASHLAND – Once again, unique, hand-painted, one-of-a-kind rain barrels will take over the downtown areas of Loudonville and Ashland next month.
Not only will the rain barrels help to increase awareness of the importance of stormwater, but they will be available for residents and businesses to bid on and take home with them.
“I am just really excited with all of the community involvement, let alone the artists!” said Katie Eikleberry, fiscal and education specialist with Ashland Soil and Water Conservation District. “Our artists have so much talent, it is definitely impressive.”
Rain Beat on Main Street is coordinated by Ashland SWCD, but is a real community-wide effort to increase awareness of stormwater issues and raise funds for water quality education.
