As I was driving down Main Street this afternoon I saw a team of city workers putting up colorful banners on lamp posts. These are the products of the Isabella County Our Vision is 20/20 organization's campaign with help from Art Reach of Mid Michigan.

About 200 local groups and artists created these works of art. It is a festival celebrating art and community spirit. Banners will fly in downtown Mt. Pleasant, Shepherd, Winn, and on the CMU campus.

Sponsors include Isabella Bank, Firstbank, Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, The Morey Foundation, the city of Mt. Pleasant, the village of Shepherd and Central Michigan University.
