The newest mural in Perry has been officially dedicated.
The Welcome to Perry mural was dedicated during a ceremony on Thursday, June 29 at the Raccoon River Valley Trailhead.
“We are truly fortunate to have this beautiful mural located on the trailhead. I know that it represents Perry well and it’s such a great place for the bikers to see as they come through Perry and for visitors as a whole,” Mayor John Andorf said.
Perry Economic Development worked with the Iowa Arts Council to secure a Creative Places Project Grant. PED matched funds from the grant and commissioned Shawn Palek to create the mural.
Andorf said PED worked with the Perry Chamber of Commerce and the city of Perry to choose images to represent Perry on the Welcome to Perry mural.
“If you look closely at each of the letters, each one of them say something or represent something about Perry.
