Painting the town maroon

Local residents enjoy a cup of coffee at Nu Grille as Fort Scott Community College freshman Gina Sierras decorates the window Tuesday afternoon.

FSCC freshman Lauren Reynolds colors in the letters she painted on the window of Nu Grille Tuesday afternoon as the FSCC Cheer and Dance teams help prepare the town for Greyhounds' football game with Butler Community College on Saturday. About 20 local businesses have paid $20 to have their windows decorated by the FSCC Cheer and Dance teams, who will also return next week to clean the windows. (Michael Pommier/Tribune photos)
