Creator Steven Rusch has installed some creepy Halloween scarecrows on the library’s front porch. You may view them at 40 mph as you drive by the library or come sit in the rocking chairs on the front porch for full effect. Steven likes natural objects, and if you look closely, you’ll see a deer skull as the head of one of the scarecrows, and deer bones are incorporated into another.

Steven has a passion for creating displays and contributed greatly to the Bison display currently on the upper floor of the library. He lives in Downers Grove and travels to Big Rock with his artwork. We are thankful for a volunteer (and his dad) who is willing to travel that distance.
