The "Roll Out the Barrels 2013" extravaganza takes place on Friday, May 17th, at the Lyndon House Arts Center at 5:30 pm.

Local artists have turned rain barrels into beautiful pieces of functional art. These will be auctioned off--in a silent auction--and the proceeds will go to the Athens Green School Program. This is an initiative to ensure environmental education is taught in the classroom.

Peruse the barrels on line and then bid, win and enjoy!
