LAKEHURST – Just “Chalk It Up” to a fun filled, artistic event that was designed to keep young people active during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Borough Councilman Brian Dimeo reported during a May 23 council meeting that there was a chalk coloring contest taking place on borough sidewalks.
The event was promoted through the youth and recreation page. The contest ran from May 22 through May 27 and a winner was to be named by June 1.
“Hopefully we’ll see some artwork from the kids,” Dimeo said.
In visiting the borough’s Facebook page a few examples could be found of some creative chalk work. Some even involved the artist.
Dimeo said the idea behind the contest was have children enjoy some outside time and to have some fun with an activity that they could enjoy during the current social distancing requirements. An activity they could enjoy without anyone around but that could be appreciated by everyone who would walk down the streets of the borough and shared by adults and other children as well.
