Heroes' Wall Planned

The Gravette Lions Club is hosting a community meeting to present an idea known as "Gravette Heroes' Wall." The meeting will be held at the Billy V. Hall Senior Activity Center at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14. All members of the Gravette community are invited to attend. The Lions Club, in association with Gravette's Mid Continent Concrete plant, are planning the "Gravette Heroes' Wall," a 3-D artistic creation by Gravette artist, Mike Kelley. It is a community service project and the club is seeking support to make it happen. Kelley will present the idea along with a rendering of the finished piece at the meeting. Those who have been involved in the project believe it and other murals to follow will become something truly meaningful to Gravette.
