Tornado Town is on exhibit at Ozark Beer Company

A unique piece of public art, the "Tornado Town" sculpture, has been installed at Ozark Beer Company, 109 N. Arkansas Ave, Rogers. The work honors the resilience and humor of the Rogers community following the devastating Memorial Day weekend tornadoes.

This extraordinary 9-foot-high, 500-pound sculpture was constructed using debris salvaged from the storm, including 475 trampoline springs contributed by community members. The springs, a poignant symbol of recovery, have been meticulously transformed to represent a swirling tornado, which looms over a small, detailed town built from storm debris. The installation includes a replica of Rogers' water tower, a church, and houses, all symbolizing the spirit of those affected by the tornado.
