Here's how it all happened... The nostalgic mural in Olde City Park, entitled "Watching Wylie Waken", was painted in the summer of '94 on a 12x60 ft. wall on Ballard Street. The mural depicts Wylie memories-- a cotton gin, the 3 original churches, the old water tower, Lake Lavon, some Texas wildlife, a train, the original railroad station, a • pony express rider, a bi-plane, an American Indian, a wishing well, covered wagons, a pioneer, etc. It was created to be a colorful monument to Wylie's heritage and an attractive welcome for visitors to the Wylie downtown area. It started with some dreams. The City council and the Parks Department had dreams of beautifying Wylie and their new park. Ken & Sandee Ritter, who owned the barber shop adjacent the park, had dreams of having a western mural painted on their wall. Artist and pastor David Eden had just moved to Wylie 3 from Illinois to pastor a local church. He was a veteran billboard artist and had dreams of using his artistic gifts to beautify his new hometown. He noticed the n _, proposed park and the large bare wall—just begging for attention! -3, . . _ The 3 dreams came together. At first, there was talk of a western theme. But as 1. Dave began to do some research, he met townsfolk who had a better understanding of Wylie's roots. Margaret Cook, Agnes Dempsey, the Trimbles, - •7- Bev Bulkersons' Wylie Heritage book were some of the helpful sources that made Dave realize that the theme shouldn't be just western, but Wylie. Opinions came flying in from everywhere: "We were a pioneer and farming town, not a cowboy town!... We grew lots of cotton!... Yeah, but Wylie was the also the onion capital of the world!... You'll want the pony express, not a stagecoach!... Did you know Wylie was an Indian burial ground?... Don't forget the railroad!... And how 'bout an armadillo!..." On this same site had been the local jail, then a bar! On and on it went, until Dave had an heartful of Wylie nostalgia. _ It was done on a shoe-string budget, by today's professional standards. The Ritters supplied the first $200 for paints. The City agreed to put up $1500. The xn� low price was offset by making the mural a community participation project! Anyone, with little or no skill, was invited to come help Dave paint it. And they — did! All manner of Wylie residents came out to contribute either talent, food or opinions! It took 3 weeks, but eventually, more than 30 volunteers had helped accomplish the task, from skilled artists, like nationally known painter John Pototschnik, to moms & their kids, who'd drop by to paint a few strokes, and thus be able to say: "Hey, I helped paint the armadillo!" And so "Watching Wylie Waken"was born. Until 2012 Dave was hired to retouch the wall every few years by the Parks Dept. David Eden's art can be seen at EdenSigns,com. Also, postcards, greeting cards&prints of the mural are available. • a. ►: 'w r,..L' ,+\:),:i.'(, >��'tiY,`i1ll1, �� _- ✓F'�, / '"�' ..�} Y ;��T ,��•" „ki) ,f ..ti yt )f �9` ,�;:', t >4..a.f::, �. t .4• !l a t 7 ',' 1 r `��y`„ ,. ;7: ./ //', f*, 1?/\ tr' il,i1, ,, i, 1,�,' !\ �� �( jf�,��,,lI'I ,+' ,. _ �A Js -. iv } pp ll iii. c,.,,'f,il....0.'A. -'' N_'_A ,4 1 �eE�a`�= air. ,4 `. \,g,/,1‘"1. 1 g1r11 ' ij`' �- ,- :® bvs + 3 .:. _ =, ' `� 'li �� t ,� x $ ` n 1 r t,0.

DISCUSSION ITEMS • Discussion regarding a request from the Wylie Downtown Merchants Association regarding changes to the 2015 Bluegrass on Ballard event. (Bobby Heath, Wylie Downtown Merchants Association) Staff Comments PAAB liaison Ehrlich addressed the board stating that the Wylie Downtown Merchants Association spoke to the board at the January meeting and discussed the 2015 Bluegrass on Ballard to be held June 27th in Historic Downtown Wylie. They have requested that the board facilitate all vendors including craft, food, multi-market, not-for-profits, and businesses. Part of that collaboration was that the City and Art Board would honor not-for-profits that have been part of the event at no charge. Staff is requesting that the board leave the not-for-profit fee on the application for organizations selling items and honor those current 501c3 vendors affiliated with the WDMA on an individual basis. The not-for-profits that would pay a fee would receive a discounted rate. Additionally the WDMA has requested that businesses that are part of the WDMA membership receive a 50% discount. Vendor pricing is set at$75.00 so those businesses would agree to pay $37.50. WDMA will give the City a list of those businesses. Staff is requesting these items be confirmed in order to properly categorize applications as they are submitted. Ehrlich also requested the board give direction after reviewing the final vendor application for 2015. The board directed staff to use the proposed vendor application with all changes. • Discussion regarding the 2015 JazzArts Festival (JazzArts Fest). (C.
