This is the week we start to go into the schools for our Community Mural Project! Stay tuned for posting of pictures and experiences with the students in classrooms.
There will be three murals for the community to paint at the Local Living Festival on April 27. Each one a little different but with the same concept. Marion Bradish, a local painter, will be creating all three murals with the help of a local student. Before she can create the murals, we need the students perspectives on Farmer Health and Safety.
