Chalk the Walks

Shelton-Mason Chamber of Commerce and sidewalks everywhere!

Chalk the Walks

In a world that’s often complicated, let’s try something simple with superhero-type power in spreading positive vibes: Chalk the Walks. People across Mason County will head outside to spend some time writing uplifting messages and creating chalk artwork on sidewalks, driveways, and evening parking lots. It is amazing how these small designs make our community more cheerful for everyone to enjoy.

Artists can share their handiwork using #ChalkTheWalksMason County posting photos of positive chalk messages. By the end of the day, there will be an inspiring collection of images from all over Mason County (and even the world!) spreading joy, optimism, and encouragement through the playful power of the sidewalk chalk. Stop by the Chamber office at 215 W Railroad Ave to pick up a complimentary box of chalk. Limit one per group until supplies run out. Follow Shelton-Mason County Chamber on Facebook for updates.

Just remember to follow some basic rules of etiquette:

Be respectful; consider your neighbors and others who will see your chalked walks.

Remember the mission: the goal here is to spread joy, optimism, inspiration; if what you’re writing does not accomplish that in a pure and simple way, please reconsider.

Keep it clean: it is 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 and have fun.
