ChalkArtWalk contest scheduled in Hillyard
The eighth annual ChalkArtWalk contest will be Saturday on the sidewalks of the Hillyard Historic Business District. The free event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This year’s theme is “Dream.”
A basic selection of chalk is provided free at the registration booth, but participants are encouraged to bring their own chalk if they want a greater variety of colors. Oil-based pastels are not permitted.
Cash prizes and merchandise will be awarded for first, second and third place in each of five age groups ranging from toddler through adult. The entry judged “Best of Show” receives $100 and a framed photo of the creation, which will be featured on the 2006 ChalkArtWalk T-shirt.
The first 100 entrants this year receive free T-shirts featuring last year’s “Best of Show.” Registration is on a first-come basis the day of the event only, beginning at 10 a.m. in the U.S. Bank parking lot on the corner of Market Street and Queen Avenue.
