Participants are encouraged to build a “parade float” or 4th of July parade in their front yard through July 10, and decorate their driveway or sidewalks with their best chalk art through July 15, then send photographs to parks@ci.elgin.tx.us. Here, Elgin Parks & Recreation front desk s taff members decorate the sidewalk just outside of the Elgin Recreation Center with festive and patriotic chalk art last week.
