PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 9-23-2020

Green Bay Neighborhoods and Astor Neighborhood Association Mural Award Announcement of the “Foxtrot” by Artist Beau Thomas.

The Astor Neighborhood Association (ANA) in partnership with Green Bay’s Neighborhoods received a grant for a mural to be painted on the east side of the Monroe and Mason underpass. The Mural design by Beau Thomas called the “Foxtrot” will be installed in September. It features a large “Welcome to Astor” greeting with a fox walking towards the neighborhood. The design highlights and promotes the name and brand of Astor, references local wildlife, the Fox River, the fur trade, and celebrates our resilience to winter.

The ANA is holding this announcement in conjunction with Good Neighbor Week to highlight the arts and its importance to connecting neighbors with the history of our community. This beautification project will be placed under the Mason Street overpass on the east side of Monroe Avenue.

The announcement will take place at the site on Saturday September 26th at 10AM.

The mission of the Astor Neighborhood Association is to maintain the integrity, vitality, and diversity of the Astor community through the protection and preservation of its history, neighborhoods, and architecture.

Ron Dehn - ANA President

Greetings to all Astor neighbors as fall has once again returned to Wisconsin. For me, this is the most beautiful season of the year, but I will truly miss the sunny summer days out on the pontoon boat floating around and soaking up the sun.

I want to thank all the Green Bay residents who supported our refreshment stand this summer during the City Band concerts. I believe it turned out to be our best summer ever. Thank you to those who attended Movie Night and our Back to School Potluck Dinner. I also want to thank the 150 people who joined us for the “If Homes Could Talk” tour this year. I enjoyed meeting many of you on the tour and sharing some of the restoration work that we are engaging in with our old home. Thank you also to Chris Dunbar of the Brown County Historical Society for all your efforts with this project.

We’re looking forward to the ANA Wine Tasting again this year, but we need volunteers! Please consider helping out by securing or providing donations, or more importantly, by hosting the event in your home. We can help with logistics if you can help with manpower, contributions, or most importantly by sharing your beautiful home!! Please, please contact me if you are able to help out in any way. We are expecting to have another highly successful fundraiser this year and are looking forward to meeting and mingling with so many interesting neighbors. As always, we are seeking board members for our organization. We could really use some fresh insight and we could all benefit from the energy that new brilliant minds could provide. We can also use help from volunteers for everything we do. If you are out there and looking for one or two fun activities to participate in, just reach out to any one of us listed on the newsletter.

With that, I hope you all enjoy this fall season and engage with your neighbors to make this an even greater and safer neighborhood.
