Re: Sidewalk Chalk Day

[Denise Shea]

A few years ago I helped create a "sidewalk chalk day" that took place the day before Maynard Fest. I'm dropping a line to see if there's interest in doing it again. I didn't do it last year because I was pregnant.

Here's how it works (pending Selectmens' approval): You hang a flyer in your window declaring your business as a sidewalk chalk location. You buy a bucket of sidewalk chalk (CVS may be able to provide quantity discounts) and on Sidewalk Chalk Day you put it out and invite people to decorate your bit of sidewalk for Maynard Fest.

It was a lot of fun the first year that we did it and it looked cool. We got a lot of activity with only flyer promotion and street activity. I'm sure we could get a lot more people if we posted some notices in local publications, but we have to be careful about not getting TOO many people doing it for safety reasons.

Let me know what you think and how best to get local merchants to join in.

I loved the idea and still do!!

 

This is about kids and adults having fun, playing and definitely being creative. And just being in that type of community is good for anyone living or exploring Maynard and then spreading the word of what Maynard is about. This is one of the best communities anywhere!

 

Thanks for bringing it.
