    Watch Angels by the Trail Mural dedication and interviews

    Loveland, Ohio – The public was invited to the Loveland Bike Trail to officially dedicate the “Angels by the Trail” Mural on Sunday morning. The ceremony and ribbon cutting took place at the Linda Cox Parking lot in Historic Downtown Loveland. The mural has been painted on the side of an Eads Fence and Hardware industrial building that faces the trail. As a way of giving back to the community, a group of Loveland Area residents, led by Stacie Lund created a mural that is named “Angels by the Trail”. This colorful 65 X 20 foot memorial mural is in memory of Loveland Area children who lost their lives much too soon.

    On the GoFundMe page created for the project you can contribute to the expenses, Lund said, “Our hope is that the conversion of this plain industrial wall into the “Angels by the Trail” installation will bring joy to the families of these children and those who love them and will give our community another beautiful, bright and cheerful landmark and backdrop within our special home of Loveland.”

    Loveland, Ohio – Who doesn’t remember being a kid and you get the fresh new box of crayons, Terri Carter answered when I asked her why the LIFE Food Pantry does their Back to School Backpack Drive each year. She continued, “It’s a new start. It’s a new year. It’s a new backpack filled with supplies.”

    It’s early, but it’s never too early to help Loveland Area children be ready to head to their first day of Fall classes. You can help them go back with the same things and confident attitude that their more affluent classmates will have. Terri explains why in the interview.

    Carolina Maurer added, “With dignity. With new school things.”

    Terri is the President of the food pantry and Carolina coordinates their back-to-school program. I spoke to both today at the food pantry in Shoppers Haven to find out what they are doing and how you can help. I’m pretty sure after watching them answer questions, you will be willing to pitch in.
