The Prairie Chicken Festival Events Schedule is HERE and available for viewing!  

The Walldogs (well, a few) are back and ready to paint a new mural.  The new mural is devoted to Neville Brand, a Hollywood actor raised and reared in Kewanee. He was born in Griswold, Iowa but raised in and attended schools in Kewanee.  A much decorated veteran of World War II, Brand appeared in numerous movies and TV shows beginning in the 1950s through the 1980s.  During his acting career, Brand was the first actor to portray Butch Cassidy in Three Outlaws and portrayed Al Capone in the TV series, The Untouchables.  Brand appeared in such movies as Stalag 17The George Raft StoryThe VirginianTora! Tora! Tora!Love Me Tender, and the Birdman of Alcatraz.  TV credits included Laredo,BonanzaDaniel Boone, and the Twilight Zone.

The event begins on July 16th and runs through July 19th.  As with the Walldogs Meet last year, everything begins at Dusk when the Walldogs trace the outlines of the mural on the wall panels that are located at Wanee Cinemas, 106 S. Main St.  The next 3 days consist of painting, fun, and more painting.  Join us in Downtown Kewanee for this family friendly event!
