Next step in the project is to create a traveling art show which will move around the county to visible places- businesses and public spaces. It will spread the word of our wonders. And who knows, maybe, just maybe, it will make one of us smile when we're down and think "it's not so bad, I'm luckier than I remember". And they'll smile at someone who'll smile at someone . . .

LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW OF A BUSINESS INTERESTED IN HOSTING THE ART SHOW!

I have received my first written submission by writer Sandy Williams. How beautifully she's put it:

Bluffs abound,
lakes lap with tides.
The heart of friends,
souls of pride.
Nature talking on trail rides.

There were two more art submissions for the mural. One is by artist Valerie Dayon. Valerie talked about the farms and the simple life that make living in our area special and captured it in her painting.

And the other is by artist and New Lisbon Art teacher Terri Fish-Scott. The lakes, the stars are such a magical part of living in Juneau County. Sometimes it's not appreciated until you try to appreciate the evening sky in a populated area where light pollution washes away the view.
