A mural dedicated to essential workers is scheduled to be unveiled on Friday. Intended as a gift to the community, the mural was coordinated by the Lake County Arts Council in collaboration with the City of Lakeport, Lake Family Resource Center, Lake County Rural Arts Initiative, Lakeport Main Street Association, and others. A call for proposals was put out and Emma Wakefield of Loch Lomond’s depiction of a young boy sleeping under a large quilt that contains patches with images of essential workers was chosen. Contributions are still being accepted to help meet the goal of $8,000 to cover the cost of the mural. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin at 5 p.m. at 120 N. Main St., home of the Meals on Wheels Thrift Store. Everyone is invited and after also to enjoy the monthly First Friday Fling at the Lake County Arts Council’s Main Street Gallery, 325 N. Main St., at 5:30 p.m., and the summer concert in Library Park at 6:30 p.m.
