The newest mural in Punta Gorda, The Great Sculling race, has been completed, according to Ron Norsell, Punta Gorda Historic Mural Society president. The Mural Society is inviting the public to view the work by local artist David Lackey on the wall of the Punta Gorda Health and Fitness Club, 2905 Tamiami Trail. The mural, which faces U.S. 41 just north of Aqui Esta Drive, is the first of a series of four mural panels planned by the Mural Society for this location.
