Crews are deconstructing the Bergen Mural piece by piece in order to refurbish the picture. They plan to have the mural reinstalled on different material by the end of the month.

A crew of two men working on the mural said they started taking it down that morning. By noon they were about halfway done. The mural is painted on pieces of wood about two feet wide and four feet tall.

Original post:

To prepare for the May 17th festivities, there is going to be some work done to the Bergen Place Park.

Olson Real Estate performs some needed work on the wall directly behind where the mural resides.

The mural will be taken down this week, and Friends of Bergen Place hope to reinstall the refurbished version --same picture but on better material -- by the end of April, if not the very beginning of May.

FBP will also restore the kiosk, wash, sand and paint. New flags will be put up the week before May 17th weekend
