Hang in There
Brandie and Scott Fast and daughters Hayley and Taiya decorated the window of their home in Blairmore with words of encouragement during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kelsey Weigl provided the stencil and the family cut out the hearts and painted for a finished product. Many homes throughout the community have done similar window designs in an attempt to help keep community spirit alive. It’s become a fun adventure for families during walks throughout the community.
