Much jubilation was apparent at the official ribbon cutting of downtown Dixon's newest mural just outside the Dixon History Museum in downtown Dixon and painted by artist Colleen Gnos. About 60 individuals attended the special ceremony that featured members of the Fong family who are pictured on the mural and who are from the original owners of the little grocery store, Pardi Market (that is now the development of Pardi Plaza.) Dixon Historical Society President Kim Schroeder-Evans gave the history of making the mural happen and artist Gnos shared about the long endeavor to paint the story of her the town where she grew up.
