Ribbon cutting for The Beauty of Community

August 18, 2023

Enid Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting for Park Avenue Thrift’s new mural by Hive Appeal, The Beauty of Community.

The Beauty of Community mural at Park Avenue Thrift celebrates Enid’s music legacy with trumpet vine flowers and a guitar, and features historic grain elevators with their inventive hexagon shape and of course, wheat. The Indian Blanket Flower, Oklahoma’s state wildflower, is also painted on the buffalo in front of Park Avenue. The open book, also making an Art Deco shape, seeks to inspire readers, with the sun glowing behind it. The top hat with the recycle symbol shows how Park Avenue Thrift turns your donated items into funding for Enid’s quality of life, such as arts & entertainment, beautification, literacy, and education.
