Description
Spend 10 minutes outside writing an uplifting message in chalk on your sidewalk, driveway or parking lot. Help make our town cheerful, fun, and entertaining for everyone to enjoy.
The Shelton-Mason County Chamber of Commerce has joined Chalk the Walks (a project of The Joy Team) to host our own community-wide sidewalk chalking event simultaneously with others across the county! The Chamber is offering boxes of free chalk at our office, 215 W Railroad Ave, Shelton to get the fun started!
Want to tweet about it? Use #chalkthewalks (and we will, too). By the end of the day, there will be a fabulous collection of images from all over the USA (and even the world!) spreading joy, optimism and inspiration through the playful, magical power of sidewalk chalk.
To make a positive impact and spread the joy, here are some pointers:
• Be respectful – consider your neighbors and others who will see your chalked walks.
• Remember the mission – the goal here is to spread joy, optimism and inspiration; if what you’re writing doesn’t accomplish that in a pure and simple way, please reconsider.
• Keep it clean – it’s very difficult to spread joy if your content is offensive; if an 8-year-old shouldn’t read it, don’t write it.
• Have fun – play is important to our mental and emotional health; connect with your inner child, be playful, have fun!
