Chalk Walk Winners Announced

Winners have been chosen for the annual Chalk Walk, which is a sidewalk chalk art competition held by the Downtown Vidalia Association for local high school students during the Vidalia Onion Festival. This year, over fifty students participated in the competition, whose theme was “Chalk About Yumion.” Each placement earned money for their school art program. The DVA thanks Mary’s/M Squared Designs for providing chalk, Georgia First Community Bank for providing lunch for students, and Rural Roots Beauty Bar for providing snacks and drinks.
