Altoona, Iowa — Greenfield Artist Ray “Bubba” Sorensen announced Thursday night, the location of his soon to be 100th and final mural on the Freedom Rock Tour in Iowa. His official “Freedom Rock” Facebook page said the site will be Adventureland Park, in Altoona. When completed, the boulder will wrap up Sorensen’s tour of the state, painting a Freedom Rock in all of Iowa’s 99 counties, plus the bonus rock in Polk County. Sorensen says he hopes to have the Adventureland Freedom Rock completed by July 4, 2022.
The chance to host the 100th Freedom Rock came during an online auction. The winning bid was $20,000. The rules said the winning town must not have had a Freedom Rock already. Proceeds from the sale will be divided between the TAPS and PuppyJake non-profit organizations.
