I think I'm signed up but it's been a while. Hey Cornbread, is there a list yet of who has signed up? I'm getting older and the memory can only handle so much these days! I hope I did because I plan on being there.
Sign-cerely, Steve

I'm thinking of having a Pink Floyd Concert at our Wall. I'm sure there will be other special events at our site as well.
Putting the finishing touches on The Roger Reiman design. Hopefully we can get that approved soon and get rolling on the preliminary work for this project. We have some cool stuff in the works.
I have put together a little website which outlines The Reiman project, you can find it here...
Can't wait to see everyone again and yes, The 20th Anniversary Walldog celebration in Kewanee is going to be one NOT to miss!

Dale if you post your design on facebook I have been sharing them only on Walldog Junkies group page. I would like to the keep the murals under or hats untile May 15th then have a big role out of all the designs. I would love to have a big build up for a great wow factor. I love the website.

I'm signed up as well as the Butler County Historical Society lady, Pat Collins. She wants to see what a meet is like since we are hosting one in July 2016. This will be my first meet in many years and I'm pretty damn excited about it. Jane, do you need us on your wall? Love....Jill

This is a Video from this past summers event. I hope you all enjoy
I've got Sue Banasky and John Lenning on board so far. Lots of lettering and pictoral work and if any one feels like airbrushing flames that would definitely be an option.

We have great number of painters signed up. I don't think you'll have any problem finding artist to paint on you wall.
