Colorado River Park Hosts Free Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest
Yuma, AZ – On Saturday, January 13th, at 9:30 a.m., the Colorado River State Historic Park will host their Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest.
The Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest is a free, fun, family-friendly event that invites everyone in the community to grab a box of chalk and decorate a square of the park’s sidewalk.
“The City of Yuma is hosting their annual Art in the Park at Gateway Park, right next to our historic museum, and we thought this would be a great way to support the art festivities and encourage even more folks to come and celebrate Yuma’s art community with both events,” said Tammy Snook, Park Manager of the Colorado River State Historic Park.
