Synopsis
A Story of Invention and Re-invention of America’s Heartland
The Muscatine River Monster is an inflatable sculpture installation and interactive character. The purpose is to amaze and delight the people who see it – and to both show Muscatine’s incredible and ongoing story of innovation and to show people that cities across the Midwest can be great places for artists and creative business people. The “Legend of the Kraken” tells the story (3 minute read).
The River Monster character interacts with fans through it’s social media channels. The online voice of the River Monster is described as an “enthusiastic supporter of creative and innovative ideas.”
