Houstonia artist and elementary school art instructor, Linda Hoover, rolls a second coat of paint Tuesday over the part of her mural that depicts graffiti after fair officials informed her that they wanted it covered up due to complaints. The criticism centers on the notion that the graffiti sends the wrong message to young kids, she said. A disappointed Hoover said she understands the State Fair's position but hopes officals will allow the spray paint can and MO 50 logo to remain in the composition. pic slug: 8-15-12 linda hoover
