MEET THE ARTIST
Siouxland Freedom Park’s Freedom Rock was painted by Freedom Rock artist: Ray “Bubba” Sorensen II in 2021.
Bubba’s work can now be seen across the country. He began painting large boulders with scenes giving unique recognition to veterans who are from the area where the boulders sit in 1999.
SPECIAL THANKS
Siouxland Freedom Park’s boulder was donated by Frame Aligners. The 21-ton rock was transported to the park on June 8th, 2020 thanks to Lux Brothers Trucking and Barnhart Crane.
LiteForm and Nelson Commercial Construction donated the materials and labor for the concrete slab.
The rock and bringing “Bubba” to Siouxland is made possible by fundraising efforts by Siouxland Freedom Park’s Remembrance Run group, the Siouxland Community Foundation and the Missouri River Runners.
What Drives Us
