Connect Live Item: Bozeman Coloring Book

 Refreshingly, I have overcome the last few days of flux and transition. Yes, jet lag!

All along, I didn't bother to open books because of constant headache but to my surprise, I had a wonderful stuff in my collection.

It's been over 25 years I saw any coloring book, talk less of an adult version.

Flipping through the pages opened my creative mind. Inspiration behind the work piqued my grey matters. My conclusion was that the creators of this graphical book were articulate!

How do you conceive a coloring book with quotes from reviews and make it available to 151 LGs at no cost? Isn't this some rare blessings we find in the Local Guides community? Simply beautiful.

The Bozeman Coloring book, artfully educated in collaboration with Local Guide- Megan Coburn, is a collector's item. Page five is my favourite; It highlights the Holy Rosary Church which was built in 1908 and celebrated its century in 2008.

This 60-page coloring book contains hand-drawn graphics of outdoor activities, plants, animals, architecture,history, tourist sights,sports, business index and more. I'd leave you to explore more details.

My crayons have been ordered and I just need to be a kindergarten pupil again. Can't wait to try out this assignment. I really like the design because it's not fussy thus my frisson.

Megan deserves some accolades! Aside the Ricoh Theta, this is the most valuable item in my Connect Live 2018 booty.

Bozeman sure be proud of you. We could all learn to do this to promote tourism in our localities, teach children to appreciate history and promote businesses too.

Thank you Megan for this gift and thank you Local Guides!

P.S:  Bozeman is located in Montana, USA and I learned Ted Turner is from there too. Dreaming of Bozeman!

I 100% agree @EmekaUlor!  This was a gift that I consider unbelievably impressive!  The effort that went into it's creation is mind boggling!  I think that the local tourism people should adopt this book as their official guide to Bozeman, Montana!!!

 

A coloring book should never sit unused in a collection so I have an idea.......

 

I challenge every one that got one with a Coloring Contest!!!  I'm going to start working on one tonight!!!  Will post a photo of my work of art in the comments here when I'm done 🙂  Once you receive your crayons Emeka, you can begin yours as well!

 

Coloring is one of those artistic outlets that doesn't require any real skill but can also be highly creative.  Any way you do it, it's sooooo relaxing!  Can't wait to see what your style is!

Re: Connect Live Item: Bozeman Coloring Book

@EmekaUlor your words are so kind! I am so happy you like the book, and your praise brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so very much!!! I can't wait to see your coloring pages. Please share them?? I am so excited to see how the world decides to color Bozeman! Anu's daughter did a STUNNING job on the first page!

 

 

P.S. Ted Turner may have a ranch here, but the locals are not exactly fond of him, nor is he of us... Legend has it the valley's best steakhouse refused him service once - he now has his own steakhouse on Main Street. (It's tasty too!)

 

Another fun anecdote, since the previous one is quite negative - waterways are public property in Montana, so anyone willing to walk below the high waterline can give themselves a tour of Ted Turner's property. All you have to do is stay in the creeks that crisscross his land. (An escort in a pickup truck usually follows you every step of the way, but they're fun guys.)

@SuzanneN good to know!

@KimberlyAnnG great idea, now I can't wait to get the crayons. I hope I won't be late to the Swag competition.

@Kwiksatik you did a great job. Well, I didn't know about Ted Turners unpopular side. Waiting to read your post.

@lucianavelasques thanks for reading.
