hChapter donates art
The Thundering Toms of Trumbull County chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation has donated two wildlife prints to the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library for its circulating art print collection.
The limited edition prints were created by Kathy Dickson and Larry Chandler.
"Our chapter was very pleased to enhance the library's collection," said Darryl Vaughn, Thundering Toms president. "We hope the community will enjoy these prints for years to come."
The library's art print collection makes available hundreds of pieces of ready-to-hang art, reproducing both modern and classic works by artists and photographers from around the world. There is no charge to borrow the prints.
