A year after the Walking Dead mural in downtown Cynthiana became a centerpiece for the town, the Cynthiana Arts Council is planning to paint two more murals this summer, one honoring a former Kentucky basketball coach.

The first of two scheduled murals will be of Joe B. Hall, who originally is from Cynthiana. Hall took the Cats to three Final Fours when he coached at UK, including winning the national championship in 1978.

“We have a lot of history with him (Hall) here so we kind of wanted to honor him in the best way that we could,” said Tammi Clifford, who sits on the CAC.
