Photo of the Week: Go Detroit Lions!

On the major road in our community, near the interstate entrance and exit, our downtown development authority has an artistic display using straw bales.

The designs change several times a year. It’s always fun to check out the new display.

It’s been going on for years, maybe a decade?

When I drive by, I’ll see bales designed and painted for specific days, like Easter or Halloween.

One of my favorite designs was when the bales were arranged and painted in a snowflake design to welcome in the winter season.

This week, for the first time, the downtown development authority chose something other than a season or a holiday for the display.

With a shoutout to a local sports team: the Detroit Lions

Which is our local National Football League sports team with an 11-game winning streak this season!
