|description_of_incident=The mural was well-received by Young and other local community members. However, the town's zoning officials insisted the mural be removed. They justified this request by claiming that the mural does not constitute as art, rather a sign. The sign, they claimed, was larger than what the town's sign code allows. They explained that this qualifies as a sign rather than a mural because the painting advertises the baked goods that Leavitt's Country Bakery sells. | |description_of_incident=The mural was well-received by Young and other local community members.

|description_of_result=This arbitrary distinction between mural and sign has led Young to fight back against the local government officials. In January 2023, Young began collaborating with the Institute for Justice in filing a federal lawsuit that challenge's the town's sign code. Young hopes to preserve the mural exactly how it stands now. | |description_of_result=This arbitrary distinction between mural and sign has led Young to fight back against the local government officials.
