The Carson City Host Lions Club is sponsoring a fun Chalk Art Contest as part of the Nevada Day festivities on Oct. 30. The contest is open to individuals, families, and businesses. Contestants will create chalk art masterpieces on sidewalk at a central location on East Washington Street based on the theme of “My Favorite Moment in Nevada.” The Lions Club will provide all contestants with chalk supplies. Prizes will be awarded to the top three chalk artists or family teams judged by members of the Lions Club. Contestants will pick up chalk starting at noon on Oct. 28 and preview assigned sidewalk spaces. They will work on chalk art projects anytime throughout the day on Oct. 29 and until noon on Oct. 30. Judging will take place at 2 p.m. and the winners announced at 4 p.m. on Oct. 30. The public is invited to observe the work anytime during Nevada Day.
