A corn mural featuring the former Kent County government crest is being made available to the public, free of charge.
Chatham-Kent Council approved a motion at its virtual meeting Monday night, offering up the display to any interested party through a closed bidding process.
The corn mural, which is currently on display at the PUC office in the McGeorge Building in Chatham, measures 9×9 feet.
The mural was commissioned by Pioneer Hi-Bred Limited and was donated to the County of Kent on October 31, 1984. The artist was Bill Green of Stable Studios in Charing Cross. A history of the mural can be found here. https://pub-chatham-kent.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=572
If you’d like to be the mural’s new owner, submit your interest in writing to the Clerk’s office at ckclerk@chatham-kent.ca by September 15th.
If there are multiple people looking to give it a home, it will be awarded by lottery.
All costs involved in the moving of the mural will be the responsibility of the new owner.
