More than 40 young artists in grades 3 through 8 gathered at the John A. Anderson Recreation Center on Sunday, Oct. 19, for the annual Halloween Mural Painting Contest, transforming blank mural paper into festive and spooky works of art.
Working in teams of two to four, participants had two and a half hours to bring their Halloween visions to life using paint and materials provided by the Recreation Department. The event featured five judging categories, with medals awarded to standout murals. Alongside the painting fun, students enjoyed seasonal activities, a goody bag, a soft pretzel and a drink.
The winning murals will be displayed at the Recreation Center throughout the fall, bringing Halloween spirit to the community. Organizers praised the creativity and teamwork on display, calling the event a great success.
