DANVILLE — It’s been 15 years since Walldogs artists converged on the city, creating murals to showcase its history.
It’s been more than two decades since the popular Chuckles gummy candy was produced locally.
At the request of the Danville Area Visitors Bureau, Walldogs muralist Mike Meyer of Chester, Iowa, returned to Danville in June to repaint the Chuckles mural downtown on Walnut Street near Fatman’s Warebouse.
It’s turning out to be a Chuckles summer of remembrance.
The mural work is expected to be finished in the next few weeks — including the return of Evel Knievel’s image — and the Vermilion County Museum is hosting Chuckles Day on Sunday with a community celebration.
