What It Is: The Chalk Walk is a day-long event where artists of all ages are invited to illustrate a square in the sidewalk with chalk pastels! The community will then have the opportunity to view the artwork and vote for their favorites from each category! Anyone may sign up for free online or in person at the Norris Community Library while spots are available.

Instructions for the Day-Of: The event will run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
