🎨🦆 SPECIAL HONORS — FAYETTE COUNTY! 🦆🎨

We’re giving Special Honors to ARTS - Arts for Rural Texas for a duck that celebrates art, creativity, and a very familiar head of happy little curls!

Their Business Duck is an ode to one of the most recognizable painters of all time, Bob Ross, with an extra-special local connection to the ARTS Ross Gallery. We love the clever play on the name and the way they turned their duck into a tribute that is perfectly ARTS. 🎨

Thank you to Arts for Rural Texas for bringing so much creativity to our Best Business Duck contest and for joining us in supporting Meals on Wheels Rural Capital Area and the seniors we serve.

This one definitely deserves a happy little Special Honor! 🦆🖌️💙💚
