Steamboat Pilot & Today
When Patrick and Tammie Delaney purchased the Hayden Granary in 2008, they dreamed of one day having murals painted on the side of the large silos. Now their vision will come to life thanks to a collaboration between Historic Hayden Granary, Inc. and the Colorado Crane Conservation Coalition.
The two Hayden nonprofits have joined forces, and in February, they put out a call to artists to find someone who could paint a large scale mural on the side of one of the silos. The mural will depict the greater Sandhill cranes, a species of crane that spends several months out of each year breeding and staging in Hayden and the surrounding Yampa Valley.
