A couple of weeks ago, “06880” put out a call. Readers could help design a fun, creative local coloring book.
The idea came from Mark Potts. The 1974 Staples High School graduate lives in Lawrence, Kansas now, and sent his mother — renowned Westport historian Eve Potts — an article about a coloring book created there.
Eve thought it was a wonderful, creative way to bring our community — of all ages — together during this crisis.
Artists of all types — professionals, doodlers, everyone in between — were invited to submit a page of their favorite Westport scene. They’d all be turned into a PDF, for anyone to print out and color.
Now — with the help (of course!) of Miggs Burroughs — we present “Color Us Westport.” The 24 page book of historic, iconic and fun spots around town includes contributions from Miggs, Eve, Mark, Kathie Motes Bennewitz, Claire England, Kris Jandora, Penny Pearlman and Melanie Yates.

Claire England, director of operations for Green’s Farms Church, contributed several pages to the coloring book.
Thank you Dan, Eve, Miggs, and all contributors for this beautiful coloring book!
