SCULPTURE WALK
 The
Cell Phone Booth has returned and is here to stay
permanently! The Village has purchased the sculpture by Ed Francis. The Cell Phone Booth is a cynical reaction to the
proliferation and overuse of the cell phone and is featured at the train
station.
Look for these new sculptures
as part of the second phase of the Sculpture Walk! The
sculptures are featured in the downtown and within a few of the parks.
