Chamber Mural Committee's Goal
The Huron Chamber Mural Committee plans to do at least 10 vignettes the summer of 2003.  According to Phebejean Mills, they will be smaller so smaller spaces will be needed.

According to Ms. Mills this year seemed to be right to do some fun whimsical vignettes such as the man reading the newspaper on the mural at Third Street and Kansas Avenue S.E.

She said other ideas that work well are bank robberies, a child with a dog, a small child pulling a wagon, some flowers in planters, bicycle leaning against something, a cat in a window, a quartet singing, or a horse with its head out the barn door, to mention just a few.

The vignettes can run in price from $100 to $800, depending on size and detail.
