On July 25th, 2009, a ceremony was held to dedicate the newly finished mural on Mt. Oliver. Local representatives, artists, and onlookers alike were treated to this affair. Head Honcho Kyle Holbrook, Art Director Lucas Stock, and Artist Douglas Brunner were on hand to share a couple of words on the podium. The mural looks great and is sure to make a splash with all of the locals. GREAT WORK!
