Mural painting in Danville postponed until next week

DANVILLE - Mural painting in Danville, initially scheduled for Friday, has been postponed until next week because paints are not ready.

College interns in charge of the project hope they don't have to cancel the paint days next week but on Thursday they weren't sure. They will announce the first painting day.

They are hoping to have the community can paint panels for the mural from noon to 5 p.m. Fridays at the mural site at the Gerst Building along the Susquehanna River and on Tuesdays from noon to 5 p.m. at the Danville Area Community Center.
