weather cooperated, and we wrapped up the precast-style soft detailing across the top along with the cornerstone.
A big thank you to the sponsors helping bring this mural to life:
Delaplaine Foundation, Rentals Unlimited, Scotty’s Vodka, and JoJo’s Restaurant & Tap House (the wings for lunch were perfect).
This mural will span 105 feet from end to end. This section should be completed within the next couple of weeks, then we move the scaffold and continue the journey.
