Heart Sculpture Destroyed in Community Attack

A beloved community sculpture, Bee Part of Our Hive, was vandalized last Sunday outside The Beehive nonprofit, sparking an urgent investigation and emotional response from artist Mike Elder and the Parade of Hearts team. The damage—worst in four years—is being meticulously tracked via GPS, and authorities are seeking witnesses and video. Elder, moved by the nonprofit’s vital work, is rebuilding the heart from scratch, channeling resilience from past hardships. The sculpture will return in weeks, as the community rallies to protect these symbols of connection—on display until August, with an auction and raffle also underway.
