Splinters-N-Rust owner Janice Richardson recognized Ukraine and Kansas share multiple similarities. One of them is in agriculture. Both countries grow sunflowers.
The national flower of Ukraine is the sunflower, a Ukrainian symbol of peace.
Richardson wanted to show passion in some way, so she organized a sunflower challenge.
Richardson planned a class on April 16 where participants will follow her instructions on painting a wooden sunflower. She hopes these decorations will show support for Ukraine by decorating Hutchinson with the bright yellow flowers.
Richardson will also provide Take-N-Make sunflower kits, where participants can purchase the kit in-store and paint it at home while following along to a Facebook Live video she makes the day of the class.
