Babble Bug Boutique 209 N Main The Board discussed the mural concept and liked it over all. The question was raised about inclusivity and whether a mural of all Caucasian children was what we want downtown. The Board finally settled on asking the artist to add a circa date to the mural so that visitors would know that it represents the 1950 s or 60 s in downtown River Falls. The Board also discussed having the artist document the process for coming up with the rendition and that it be documented at the mural. Other murals should have this documentation as well. M/S Miller/Halvorson to approve the mural cost of $4500 with BID ownership; all in favor. Other Business The Board discussed new businesses coming to the downtown and city, as well as current BID legislation at the State.

21 From: To: Subject: Date: David Markson Dkusilek; Amy Peterson; Mural description Thursday, July 27, :04:54 PM "Charla (Moore) Kusilek, as the building owner, envisioned a work of art on the wall, that would depict her recollections of a childhood spent on Main Street, River Falls, as well as pay homage to her Grandfather, Dr. James "Ferdie" Mack, whose "animal hospital" was, for many years, housed in the building whose south facing wall contains the mural. She engaged artist, David Markson, to create a depiction that could capture the spirit of time: a small mid-western farming community in Western Wisconsin in the 1950's. The children in the scene are generally representative of Charla's memories; highlighting the activities and young personalities of River Falls in the early, to mid-50's, without specific intention of "being" anyone in particular - though assignment of "who might be who" was discussed, and is not discouraged. The two gentlemen seated outside the door are "Old Doc", James "Ferdie" Mack, on the right, and Ernest "Bub" Mack, who, as "Old Doc's" son was called "Young Doc", on the left. Old Doc established his first hospital around the turn of the (last) century, in the back basement of the corner building on North Main and Maple. A few years later he moved across Maple Street, into a building he built at the current location. Though he phased out as his son gradually took over, he continued to walk to the office daily, until his passing in Bub joined his father at the veterinary service, following his own military service, at the end of WWII, circa He was on call 24/7, in the service of ailing animals of all kinds, until the day of his passing in 1992, at the age of 80. The children have grown to have led complete and varied lives; and their memories of River Falls in a different time are honored with this mural." OK... that is the rewritten description of the project, trying to incorporate some of Charla's notes.
