Mural week 2021 Day 6

(Day 5 is here.)

There was not a lot of change in the murals on Thursday. Only two of the original seven remain unfinished. I did get a good picture of the Octopus mural that was finished on Wednesday

The gray rose on Rules Auto Service added lettering.

Kristine Campbell continues adding details to her mural

The Preston mural in the alley looks like it is finished or almost finished. The flowers look finished but the fish seem like they will get more detail. Flowers and fish make for an unusual pairing.

Below is a picture showing some detail. It is hard to get a picture from a good angle when there are cars parked next to the painting. If you look at the surface of the wall, you can see why this wall was not immediately snatched up by one of the original seven muralists.

On Friday I found the artist of the alley fish at work. I do not know his name. Again, the wall is not in the best condition for a mural.

I will probably not post again on murals until all of them are finished.

Stopping by Abbie Parmelies open house on Thursday, I noticed a sign in the door of Turning Point Surveying saying that they had closed their Rensselaer office and anyone interested in their services should contact their DeMotte office. A week or so ago I was shopping for a bike part and discovered that Superior Sales and Service no longer is in the bike business. A couple of posts back I mentioned the parking spaces at Walmart that seemed reserved for customer pickup. I asked about them and was told that one of the uses would be for people who order groceries for pickup. There are coolers and shelves installed near the entrance for their orders. When they come for pickup, they call and tell customer service what parking space they are in and an associate will bring out their purchases.

The crop dusters are back this week. You can hear them passing overhead as they come and go from the airport. I have also seen several biplanes or perhaps one biplane several times. The Oshkosh Air Show starts on Monday, the 26th, so we may see some unusual aircraft passing by because some refuel at the Jasper County Airport. A couple of biplanes will be at the airport on July 29-August 1 selling biplane rides.

Work continues on the Pipestone Veterinary Services expansion.
