Ford's latest project in his Beaux Ties for the Arts charitable endeavor is "Color PADUCAH Wall to Wall". With permission from Robert Dafford and Paducah Wall to Wall, he partnered with Paducah Bank, the Visitors Bureau and the mural board to publish the first in a series of three coloring books that feature images in the 1st block of floodwall murals in downtown Paducah. The second coloring book will be available in April and the third in November.....all to support Dafford Mural maintenance.
"I believe we need to make sure the Dafford Floodwall Murals are maintained by the original artists. This is the 20th year for Paducah Wall to Wall so I thought this would be a fun way to support their maintenance. I want to encourage others to be part of this effort. We are a generous and caring community and those murals are such a big part of our town. Every time I'm downtown I see people walking along the floodwall, reading about our history and enjoying our beautiful murals. Now they can color them as well and learn even more about our marvelous river town."
This past week Ford visited Brookdale Senior Living on Holt Road to color with residents who expressed an interest in this popular activity. He also visits local schools and colors with students of all ages.
