A run of fish

Thousands of painted plastic fish now adorn the concrete river fences in downtown Colfax.

Many were attached to the fencing over the weekend by volunteers. The fish are in undulating lines giving color and a sense of motion to the decorations. A cadre of volunteers came from WSU in a community outreach project scheduled for two hours.

The display is colorful and whimsical. The small individual fish shapes are painted in a variety of colors. Each is an individual work. Some are signed by the artist.

The idea came from the Colfax Arts Council, and it has captured the imagination of many in town....
