Beyond Our Imagination (EPUB Download) chronicles the founding era of community arts in Lima and Allen County and its enduring legacy. 
 
Written in an informal narrative style, the authors share the twists and turns of: hosting professional dancers in the classrooms to enhance learning through the use of movement; calling the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce for a favor—a free Willie Nelson concert; the epic nine year effort to build a civic center; heritage projects that nourished community pride and economic development; and a three year arts-based civic dialogue project that addressed civic concerns.
