"When it Rains it Pours" by Miles Metzger is one of the most popular sculptures in Hamilton. This piece was discovered by Gayl Underwood (Richards Pizza) on a trip in St. Helena, CA.

You can see "When it Rains it Pours" in person at Armstead Park, at the corner of Main and D. #sculpture #cityofsculpture #whenitrainsitpours
