2020 GRAC MURAL Commissioned & juried artist, Dave Rickerd.


Everyone was going through withdrawals during Covid 2020; Applebutter was cancelled,

so we commissioned a town mural!

After interviewing numerous artists, we narrowed it down to 4,

then voted on Dave Rickerd, from Cincinnati, originally from Deshler, Ohio.
