The Bowl in Bowlful of Blues refers to the beautiful amphitheater
in Newton's Maytag Park.
The park itself is shaded by giant maple and oak trees.
Kids and adults can cool off in the park swimming pool, which includes two large water slides.
There is also a great frisbee golf course on the park grounds.
Newton, home of The Bowlful of Blues, is located about a 1/2 hour
drive east of Des Moines, Iowa on Interstate 80.
