Well over 14,000 feet is covered by this mural. Marjorie was joined by Claudia, who painted many of the animals. Several school children were also able to lend their hand on the mural. To add a special feature, Floid's grandchildren, horses and dogs were included in the mural. If you look closely, you will see the train enter on the West, travel "through" the building, and exit on the East near the water tower and tracks that Floid added for realism. There's even smoke coming out. Several local merchants also became involved in the project by having their "stores" painted on the mural.
