Lorain County Beautiful Painting Project

The Elyria Arts Council partnered with Republic Waste to paint a 30 yard waste container. This container was painted by kids and adults with an Earth Day theme. The container will travel to cities in Lorain County on Saturday May 21st during community clean-up events. Mother Nature created a challenge for us on multiple days that we had scheduled to paint. We re-scheduled painting days twice due to nasty weather. It was very windy on the days we were able to paint, but we got the project done by  the deadline. We Thank all who participated in the completion of this project!
