BARRE – The unveiling of a mural celebrating the Barre community will be at 7 p.m. on Nov. 18. The date was originally reported as Nov. 19 but needed to be moved back a day.

Stacey Kirby Steward created the 4-by-8-foot painting that will be on display at the Barre Town Hall.

The mural includes Barre landmarks and highlights an agricultural theme. Steward is working on the final touches, and she tried to show different parts of Barre, including Route 98, West Barre, East Barre, Pine Hill and some of the crops on the muck.

The Barre Betterment Committee spearheaded the project and received a grant through the Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council. The public is welcome to the unveiling next Wednesday.
