We are excited to announce that all the barrels are now on display at the Cincinnati Zoo. This year, just like every other, we have a ton of great barrels. The use of color, glitter and metallic paint makes each barrel one of a kind. The eBay auction for the Rain Barrel Art Project Auction starts on April 20th at 6pm and concludes on April 30th at 6pm. Click here on or after April 20th to place your bid.
