Chalkfest & Balloonfest

It was a weekend of Festivals!  July 9-12th was the Balloon Rally and Ribfest at the Wausau Municipal Airport.  On July 11th and 12th was Chalkfest on the 400 Block, downtown Wausau.  Andy, Rose, and I did both events in one day.  Here are some pictures from the day.  If you want to visit us in the summer time, the weekend of these events would be a highlight.  The best thing about the events is that they are FREE.  We did have to pay for the Ribs and food that we ate, but that was very minimal for the afternoon of fun we had.

Moving onto Chalkfest
For Chalkfest people register for space to draw their art for others to enjoy.  Its only a $12 registration fee and that includes your materials.  Not a bad deal.  Hoping Ryan can come visit next year and share his artwork with onlookers at Chalkfest.  Here are some pictures of what people created with chalk on the sidewalk.

This picture I took for Kevin and Ryan because of the caption
"Support Music and Art in our schools"
Portland Public Schools needs to do that!
