MURAL TIDBITS<br />
The mural titled Jennie Reninger- A Remarkable Woman is a beautiful mural<br />
that depicts Ms. Reninger on a rearing horse with whip in hand, herding cattle.<br />
It is located at 113 South Main Avenue, on the side of the Personal Rehab, Inc.<br />
Building. This mural is fifty feet wide by ten feet high. It was painted by Mr.<br />
Roger Cooke in January of 2004, and sponsored by Personal Rehab, Inc., Vivian<br />
Zimmerman, Jean and Grady Parrish, and the Lake Placid Historical Society.<br />
Ms. Reninger was indeed a remarkable woman. She and her family lost<br />
everything during the depression, but she did not let that stop her from<br />
becoming a successful woman. She wrote a popular newspaper column, hosted<br />
a radio program, and founded the Easter Lily industry in lake Placid. And those<br />
things are just a few of her many accomplishments. She lived to be 94 years old<br />
on her 63-acre ranch known as Green Pastures.<br />
To read a little bit more about Ms. Reninger, stop by the Chamber and pick up a<br />
Mural Book for only $4.<br />
If you are out looking at the Mural, look for a freighter, a typewriter and a<br />
bucking bull as well as a vehicle.<br />
