"Chalk of the Town”

Although tormented by gray clouds and sporadic rainfall last Thursday, volunteers came out to fill in the chalk designs on downtown sidewalks by creative artist Jessi Woken of Cannon Falls.

Jessi explained that the “Chalk of the Town” event aims to be the “talk of the town” by encouraging the community to come downtown and play games like hopscotch or practice your dance steps, etc.

Organized by Woken’s creative services company; Mountain Owl Ink, LLC, participants are also encouraged to share their experiences on the event’s Facebook page: Facebook.com/ChalkCannonFalls and compete for prizes.

Volunteers working on the sidewalk games received a T-Shirt, art supplies and bottled water. (Although the rain dampened the need of the latter treat a bit!)

But the sun came out again!

So… “Let the games begin!”
