__ It has been fun here in Stockton City watching an artist put paint to the bare wall on the southeast corner of U.S. 183 and 24. As of Friday, Sept. 30, Matt Miller, from Hays, had started adding some details to the S, T and O of STOCKTON, with the two highway signs in the S, tiger stripes in the T, and the background behind what will be an oil pumper. This postcard greeting from Stockton will be amazing, I have no doubt, as I’ve seen the amazing work Matt has done on several murals in Hays. Matt has a goal of being finished with the mural around the 20th of this month. Before he finishes, RoCo Arts Council needs to bring in about $3,000 more in donations. I know there are many of you who are enjoying the progress on this project, and I invite you to help the arts council raise the funds to finish the work. This mural is a statement of “who we are” in Stockton with bits and pieces of our lives incorporated into the design. Financial support from the community is a great way to identify with the art and the story it will tell about Stockton. Please help support this awesome project by dropping off a donation at the Sentinel office towards the remaining balance needed.
