HarJo's Window Album

Window painting at HarJo's Ben Franklin
 in downtown Pigeon, Michigan.
Artist Malea Gascho spent 18 hours creating this image using the
theme from this summer's Pigeon Farmers' Festival, Homegrown, Proud.

Detail of  HarJo's Corner --notice the painting within the painting
and the Cooperative Elevator in the background.
HarJo's is named in honor of
Annie Walker Eichler's parents, Josephine and Harley Walker.

Detail of windfarm -- the turbines look like springtime trilliums.

Eastern Mennonite University.
She is the daughter of Lee and Lana Gascho.
