And now there are four!

Soon there will be no blank walls!  The community has enjoyed watching these three talented local artists as they labored thru the summer heat to bring these vignettes to life.  Jenny and Aaron Wuerker and Marchel Kelley are to be congratulated!! for a job well (almost) done.

Early August  the city celebrated WALT LONGMIRE DAY as part of the annual Crazy Days celebration.

The chalk artists were out in force to decorate the downtown sidewalks.  And local author, Craig Johnson was selling and autographing copies of his newest book.

 That evening, the Johnson County Library held an Open House featuring Johnson.  Refreshments were served and a CD of the A & E program LONGMIRE was viewed by over 70 people.  Johnson shared his experiences with the film crew and actors and what is involved in translating a book and its characters into a TV series.
