Letter: 50th anniversary celebration of BHS street painting this year

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 7, 2015 - 4:26pm

Icon Viewers:

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the "Painting of the Street" in front of the high school.  As one of the original "artists" I'm considering getting the band back together. We could just show up that day and enjoy the tradition that it has become; from it humble and clandestine beginnings.

I do not know the date of this year's festivities.  Can yIcon viewers help me with that?  Also, I have not mentioned this to the other band members.

Thanks for your help.
