Richwood in color

By Kyle Meddles 

The Richwood Bank held a ribbon-cutting for the village’s mural Thursday, located at 24 E. Balgrove St. Above, Richwood’s historian Charles “Chuck” Barry stands next to his likeness on the mural after providing photos of old Richwood to use as templates for the many historical buildings depicted. Below, members of the Richwood mural committee pose in front of the finished product. Pictured from left, Charles Barry, Robert Warner, Benjamin Decker, Brad White, Heather Wirtz, Gail DeGood-Guy, Kelly Jerew, Scott Jerew and Chad Hoffman. Warner and Decker were the graphic designers on the project and White was the painter.
