Plains High School art students set out on a mission to add a little extra festive color to the windows on Main Street in Plains last week. Businesses including Mangy Moose, Rocky Mountain Bank and Wildhorse Antiques all got their windows decorated with different holiday themes.

"The store gives us a theme they want painted and then we get a category of options to choose from and then we start painting," said sophomore Sam Feliksa. With several of his classmates, Feliksa chose to paint some holiday woodland creatures on the windows of Wildhorse Antiques.

Brothers Jacob and David Schulze were seen painting the windows of Mangy Moose and went with the theme of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Another group was inside Rocky Mountain Bank creating a masterpiece of willow branches decorated with ornaments. All the students were happy to get outdoors for the day and put their art skills to the test.
