Two significant murals in The Pas are getting restored with the help of a couple of community organizations. When The Pas Rotary Club President Jim Scott learned that the original artist who painted the murals would be in the community for the summer, he knew the opportunity had perfect timing.

“These murals, especially the two Little John is working on, have become very iconic in the community and a lot of people have had their pictures taken beside or in front of them,” said Scott. “Over time, the weather has taken its toll and the murals have seen better days. It came up that Little John was going to potentially be in The Pas this summer visiting family. I negotiated a price with him to touch up his murals and then our group went about raising the money for it.

“We approached The Pas Destination Marketing Committee and the Rotary Club, and between the two organizations, we were able to come up with the money need to have Little John touch up the murals. These are being restored and repaired for there was a tremendous amount of behind the scenes damage to the one on Edwards Avenue, due to the elements.”
