AREA COMMUNITY NEWS: Historic Hills Scenic Byway launches 2019 Bale Trail

Pathfinders RC&D is planning a 100-mile art installation this summer.

This summer, join Pathfinders in participating in the first ever Historic Hills Scenic Byway Bale Trail, with fun art sculptures with hay, straw and corn stalk bales.

Businesses and organizations will have the opportunity to collaborate with farmers who own property along the byway to create a unique art structure of their choosing.

The primary portion of the art structure must be comprised of bales, but can incorporate non-bale items as accents. Any size and shape of hay, straw or corn stalk bales can be used. Bales can be wrapped or unwrapped; round or square. Use animal friendly paints so the hay or corn stalks can be fed at a later time.

Miniature bale art structures are encouraged in the communities that the Historic Hills Scenic Byway runs through, to bring continuity to the project and the byway.
