The Main Street Program board recently gathered for a photo in front of a vibrant downtown mural honoring Victoria founder Martín de León. The mosaic style artwork was created by local artist Clinton Edwards and installed at the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts in September 2025, serving as a colorful reminder of the community spirit the board works to promote.
