The Field of Dreams has been working with local architect, RWH Architect, has been working with the non-profit organization to develop a design for a new pavilion, replacing the 25+ year old existing wood stage. More images can be found here.
The goal of the design was to generate a contemporary facility that will aesthetically fit within the naturally wooded site and be resistant to potential vandalism. The Pavilion will be fully handicap accessible, an important feature the existing stage is lacking. The proposed design includes a roof to protect equipment and performers in the case of threatening weather conditions. In 2017, thirty percent of the concerts from the Summer Concert Series were cancelled due to inclement weather.
The Field of Dreams board is now actively in the fundraising stage. To supplement current reserves, the board will be applying for grants and doing community outreach activities in the coming months, like the Family Fun Day Fundraiser on August 28, 2021.
