FORT MORGAN, Colorado (YN) - Being a town on a railroad line, Fort Morgan residents are able to hear trains passing through the town on a regular basis. Passing trains means that outsiders see the town each day and will carry stories of Fort Morgan far and wide.

The Morgan County Area Arts Council is trying to help those people passing through to have lasting memories of
Fort Morgan.

The Fort Morgan Mural Project will be an eight foot tall, sixty foot long mural built near the railroad for this purpose.

Ideas for what to put on the mural are being accepted. Some ideas may range from a historical timeline of
Fort Morgan or a girl riding a bicycle, but as long as it represents the community.

The mural will be a mosaic painting and approximately 480 people will be needed for it.

For more information, call 867-2363.
