The Moundridge Chamber of Commerce kicked in $2,000 of seed money for a mural project for the community. “It’s become a very popular thing in communities around the state, and it’s a good way to add more color to your community and to tell the story of your community,” said Murray McGee, Moundridge city administrator and chamber board member. McGee said the chamber and city had been talking about commissioning murals for several years. The Kansas Sampler Foundation in Inman sponsored a Mural Do-Alogue in Wamego, and similar movements have gained momentum in other cities like Clay Center, Hays and Salina. He said Moundridge was in the early stages of trying to raise funds. An average mural costs between $4,000 and $5,000.
