Whole Wall Project

Last weekend, we were taking our daughter Brynn back to the airport in Omaha so she could fly back to college in Ohio. Having spent several “fast” trips to Omaha this summer due to Susan’s transplant we were able to stop in Lincoln for a change. Susan’s main reason was to find a Scooter’s coffee shop. We fell in love with their smoothies. It is no wonder since they use ice cream mix as their base ingredient.

While searching, we found Hay Market Square. It is around the train depot. As we got out of the car to look around, Susan found a brick mural that reminded me of the Whole Wall Project here in Concordia. Just this last week, the Cloud County Historical Society had their annual banquet and they were showing copies of the artwork that will some day soon decorate the wall of the “old Everett Hardware Store.”

The mural in Lincoln was a reminder of how much the project will beautify one of Concordia’s entrance points. As folks are driving up and down Highway 81, the finished product will cause folks to stop and look.

I am not involved in the fund raising but I am sure that a financial gift would be appreciated.
