A Phone to Nowhere and Everywhere: Fountain City Installs Its First Wind Phone

FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind. – Nestled in Fountain City Park sits a small wooden structure with a red door. This newly constructed building serves as a phone booth, but not an ordinary one. It is a wind phone; a phone to nowhere and everywhere.

It offers visitors and mourners a place of solace and a quiet space to those grieving.

Commissioned by Candy Jackson of Fountain City in loving memory of her beloved son, Brett Austin Dale, and special niece, Sierra Diane (Eastman) Fisher, this wind phone is an endeavor deeply personal to her heart.

For Candy, her donation of the wind phone to the community is not only an outlet for her personal grief, but an opportunity to use her own family's loss to help others by providing an avenue for them to process and heal from their own grief.

This wind phone is the first of its kind in the area, and the 7th in Indiana, recently included on the global wind phone registry.

Additional information about wind phones and the wind phone registry can be found at www.mywindphone.com.

Bill Hofer, owner of Simple Life Specialty Service LLC, proudly donated the labor for this project. Bill took Candys vision and far surpassed her expectations in the unique design and craftsmanship of this quaint space. 

If you are ever in the area, stop in and utilize the wind phone.
