Spearheaded by the Fostoria Area Visitors Bureau, this exhibit brings uniquely colorful sculptures throughout our city. We have received donations to purchase many of the pieces that were part of our previous exhibits. This tour will only showcase the eight pieces that are part of this year's temporary exhibit.
