The spring event that began last year is returning to Lindsborg: Chalk the Välk promises creativity, excitement, and joy on 4.5 miles of "canvas"!
Saturday, April 11, a section of the Välkommen Trail will be marked off for artists of all ages to "throw down" their imagination in chalk in this all-day event. Cash prizes and interactions with internationally renowned artist David Zinn and professional artists will enhance this inspiring day.
Reserve April 11 on your calendar now to attend, but you must register to participate! Registration deadline is March 28. All ages are welcome to create on the trail by paying the $10 registration fee. Find information, rules and the registration form by clicking on this link.
