It didn't take long for vandals to strike the freshly painted mural at the Haymaker Farmer's Market.
Market manager Kelly Ferry discovered a graffiti tag on the new mural this weekend.
Artist Elaine Hullihen just weeks ago finished the mural, which includes a special overcoat designed to protect against graffiti.

Hullihen said the tag should be removable with an application of mineral spirits without causing any damage to the art.
The market planned a dedication for the new mural Saturday but postponed the ceremony due to weather.
