Ketchikan, Alaska - The rain
and wind Sunday didn't keep the Project Ketchikan event from
taking place as scheduled. In an effort to turn uninspiring boarded
up windows into something more appealing that everyone can enjoy,
Project Ketchikan was created by Bobbie McCreary, M.J. Turek
and other interested locals in 2003.

Along with adult community members, participant Gretchen Klein
said there were kids as young as two-years old painting Sunday.
She said there was a high number of Ketchikan Youth Court and
Big Brothers Big Sisters' members also participating in the event.
"I am proud of the kids
who continue to show their commitment to community service and
team-work no matter their differences." Most of them actually
had a lot of fun working together," said Gretchen Klein

Klein thanked the downtown
businesses for allowing community members of all ages to decorate
their windows.
Project Ketchikan 2004 was
sponsored by the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council and
Historic Ketchikan. Paint and supplies for the project
were generously donated by Diamond's International and Talbott's
according to event coordinator Bobbie McCreary.
