QUINCY – Historical elements and hand-drawn illustrations of iconic buildings around Quincy have been brought together in Robert Turek’s new ‘Colorful Quincy’ coloring book.
“Colorful Quincy” offers 25 single-sided coloring pages, filling a niche for coloring lovers and Quincy history lovers. Turek said he wanted to see a void filled to help promote Quincy.
“Big cities have coloring books dedicated to them, but Quincy never had one, it was time to change that,” Turek said. “I looked at the other books already available and knew I could add something uniquely Quincy to the wide array of adult coloring book choices.”
Holly Cain, executive director of the Quincy Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the new book will help promote many of Quincy’s top attractions.
“It was created to reach young people and adults, locals and visitors who will enjoy and learn about our local history while coloring the pages,” Cain said. “We look forward to using it as another tool to promote Quincy.”
Turek is a longtime resident of the Quincy area. He previously wrote “History in the Heartland – Volume 1: Illinois Stories”. “Colorful Quincy” can be purchased at amazon.com.
