Stan Herd, famous for his “Crop Art”, was commissioned to do a painting for each of the 9 Kansas Byways. The paintings will be used for a Second Change Drawing of losing lottery tickets. The drawing will be in November.
There were also notecards, posters and postcards of the 9 byway paintings for sale and autographed by Stan Herd.
Events are being held at all 9 of the State Byways during the summer and fall.
