Peru – Most Peru residents love expansive Heyworth Mason Park with its walking trail, dog park, town market, stage, bell tower, and Sunday evening concerts. But, over the past several days, people have noticed another upgrade. Paintings depicting Peru’s history have replaced the deteriorating plywood in the historic Heyworth building. As a result, the 1830s-era woolen-starch mill is becoming an even greater attraction.
Town Councilman Mel Irwin got the ball rolling. He explained, “I got tired of looking at old plywood. We should have fixed it a long time ago.” So Irwin contacted several community-minded people who agreed to sponsor paintings depicting Peru’s history, and the town is installing new plywood.
The images, created by artist Greg Badger, cost $200 each. When Badger finishes his artwork, Irwin brings them home, where he applies a weather-sun protective coating before he installs them. Altogether there are twenty window openings; to date, ten people sponsored paintings.
Anyone interested in sponsoring a painting should call Melvin Irwin at 518-578-5782.
