Outside the Gazette’s front window is a scarecrow. He’s decked out in an old flannel shirt and is sitting on top of one of my daughter’s old bicycles. The scarecrow holds a newspaper satchel, with a number of old newspapers inside, ready to be delivered to Gazette readers.
We built the scarecrow as part of a community project. Every year, the Galena Center for the Arts sponsors this project with more than 30 scarecrows throughout the community. The tagline: “Art that stands out in its field.”
This year, the scarecrow also provided a new opportunity for us; the center asked us to design a map. The center emailed out our map with a press release. Our logo is on the bottom of the map.
