Children of all ages added a little extra color to their Wednesday —and to the sidewalks of Ellis—during the annual Rock & Chalk in front of the Ellis Public Library.

The event, part of the “Hogs Gone Wild” Ellis Junior Free Fair, drew nearly fifty children and parents.

Participants went “hog wild” with their creative chalking, while enjoying music and free sno-cones from Arthur’s Pizza.

According to Ellis Alliance Director Kim Patee, the last couple years it rained after the sidewalks were decorated, and even though their work immediately melted away, there were no complaints from the chalk artists.

Rock & Chalk is sponsored by Arthur’s Pizza and Mexican Foods, Ellis Public Library and Eagle Communications.
