The Parkers Rock Sidewalk Chalk

In addition to being kind, brilliant, generous, and hilarious, our Oregon hosts, the Parker family, are awesome chalk artists!

Forest Grove hosts a sidewalk chalk festival every fall to raise money for a local art gallery.  It's such an institution that the sidewalk squares downtown all have brass number plates embedded in them, for identification purposes for the festival each year.  As they become available. we'll post some pictures of previous masterpieces.














Groovy Aunt Claire broke out her HUGE stash of sidewalk chalk one afternoon, and opened sidewalk to the young 'uns.  Much creativity ensued:

How awesome is an activity that creates art not only on your chosen surface, but also on you?
