Live Music by the Lake (Friday)

Frazz Musselman Mural (Friday and Saturday)
Jef Mallett, creator of the syndicated comic strip Frazz, returns to Geneva for his second time at Musselman. In 2006, Jef competed in the half-iron and designed the race t-shirt. This year, Jef will lend his talents to MusselFest by sketching the world's largest Frazz cartoon on a downtown retaining wall. Athletes can participate by coloring in a section of the artwork according to their bib number: the world's largest paint-by-number!
Next to the mural, past and present Musselman participants can add their name to the "Wall of Mussel." Come back to Geneva in 50 years and show your grandkids.
