“TAILS FROM THE HARBOR”

Mural Nearing Completion

Fish (and other characters) continue to be added to the mural.

Progress slowed this week when the lovebugs blew into town in mass. They love the harbor area and were at the mural in the thousands, making it impossible to paint. Hopefully, they will be gone soon and progress can continue.

LIVING HISTORY

The Mural Society took part in the Charlotte Community Foundation’s Beyond the Looking Glass fundraising gala on April 20th.  It was a night of philanthropy and a chance to get to know the nonprofits who received 2019 CCF Grants.  We received a grant for our “Tails” mural.
Scot Shively joined Kelly Gaylord at our booth bringing to life Captain Jack McCann and Miss Belle McBean.  Fun was had by all as they recounted meeting Teddy Roosevelt on his trip to Punta Gorda to harpoon the Devil Fish in 1917.
