You could have helped commemorate Sturgeon Bay’s agricultural and maritime history on Thursday's side of the Bayside Bargains building with a few flicks of a paintbrush.

You could have helped commemorate Sturgeon Bay’s agricultural and maritime history on Thursday with a few flicks of a paintbrush. Yonder, Bayside Bargains, and the Sturgeon Bay Historical Society teamed up to make the mural happen. Yonder artists Erin LaBonte and Don Krumpos talked about the work that went into turning a vision into a big color-by-number for the community to paint.

Two of those community members were Ethan and Dean Pursley of Sturgeon Bay, who jumped at the opportunity to help out.

Sturgeon Bay Historical Society Kelly Catarozoli said they worked with the city’s arts board to make the project a reality, adding that the original plan was to paint a similar mural near the Door County Granary. LaBonte and Krumpos were hopeful they would be able to finish painting the mural by the end of the day Thursday.
