📍🎨 Join Us for the Beatrice & Beyond Children's Paint-by-Number Mural! 🎨📍

After you enjoy the Homestead Days Parade, bring the kids over to help create something special for our community!

Thanks to the generosity of donors who supported Main Street Beatrice's Big Give Gage project during the Gage County Foundation'S Big Give Gage event last year, we were able to raise the funds needed to make this exciting Children's Paint-by-Number Mural a reality. Now it's time to bring it to life, and we can't wait to see our community come together to create it!

🖌️ Children of all ages are invited to participate
📅 Saturday, June 27, 2026
⏰ 12:00–5:00 PM
📍 City Offices Retaining Wall (corner of 4th & Ella Street)

We've partnered with the Beatrice Public Schools Arts Department (Art At BHS), and their talented students have created an amazing mural design that celebrates Beatrice and the surrounding area. This community art project will be painted by local children with assistance from BHS art students.

No experience is needed—we'll provide everything you need! Come leave your mark on Beatrice and help create a lasting piece of community artwork.

We are getting so excited to see this project come together and hope you'll join us! 🎨❤️
