Correction

An article in Tuesday’s edition of the Sun stated that the city of Winchester bid on a horse painted by Holly VanMeter at an auction in December. It was actually the Tourism Commission that tried to purchase the horse, not the city.
Sarah Healy won the horse at the auction, paying $10,000, and donated it to the city.
