Karen Welch, of Bark River, adds detail to her mural in the Poultry and Rabbit Barn at the U.P. State Fairgrounds. This is Welch’s second mural at the fairgrounds — her first, located in the Swine Barn, took nearly 25 hours to complete. Welch’s connection to the ground lies in her past experience showing animals. Now seven of her grandchildren participate in the shows.
