Growing with Brookfield
Saturday, June 1, Brookfield area
The Brookfield Artist Collective and the Chamber of Commerce are coordinating an event that will include 10 painted rain barrels displayed across the Brookfield neighborhood. Local artists have painted these rain barrels in order to sponsor the community’s businesses. These artists and sponsors have spent a lot of time painting the barrels, so it is only fair that many eyes see them around!
