As many of us know, Columbia's hometown university, Lindsey Wilson University, has gone through a massive rebrand going from LWC to LWU. As part of this there will be a week long celebration from September 8-12, with each day having a different focus. Thursday, September 11th will be “Paint the Town Blue” day in which businesses and individuals around the community are asked to wear blue and decorate their businesses blue. Members of the Columbia community are also encouraged to chalk paint (chalk paint only) any sidewalks around Columbia in blue with Lindsey Wilson messages.

Mayor Hoots champions that Lindsey Wilson is, “Our University, Our Students, in Our Community,” The city hopes you will help them celebrate on Paint the Town Blue day.
