Riverwoods Chalk Art Festival

Back in June (June 15 to be exact) Orem City celebrated Summerfest. There was a carnival, a pancake breakfast, a parade, and fireworks. While at the parade, we got a flyer for the Riverwoods Chalk Art Festival. I immediately put it on our calendar because I have always wanted to go to a Chalk Art Festival. Fast forward to this past week and it was raining so much! I was worried that they were going to cancel the festival but they did not! The poor artists just had to cover up their paintings with plastic and taped edges during the rain storms. We saw where some of the art had been washed away from the rain; it was sad.

We walked around on Friday night and saw some of the artists working on their artwork, and then we walked around again on Saturday to see the final products. I was surprised at how many artists didn't start until the day of! They were able to start and finish all in the one day! It was amazing and their artwork was still incredible! Everyone was so talented; literally everyone. Here are some of the pics I snapped (each artist had one parking stall - but a few 'featured' artists had 2 parking stalls right next to each other - so just keep in mind, their canvas was an ordinary, every day parking lot!):

It was an awesome weekend, I am glad that the show still went on and that we were able to enjoy it!
