Frost Park Update for Next Friday Noon: 4/18/2008:
Frost Park Events are pretty open sourced and unpredictable. For instance, last week, a group of runners suddenly emerged in the park.
Here are a few developments for the upcoming Frost Park Event on Friday Noon April 18th.
There will certainly be another chalk art contest. I suspect more people will be drawing of all skill levels. Yes, eyes will certainly be on Andrea as she is the defending Frost Park of "BEST ILLUSTRATOR IN THE UNIVERSE OF TACOMA" and RR as he tries to defeat her. However, they could could be defeated by a newcomer.
There will likely be a few more guidelines on how it will take place. Hopefully, Adam can document with his video camera and publish the film clip on it.
There looks to be a sponsor who will be offering a substantial prize to the winner of the Frost Park Chalk Sketching Contest. We will see.
See everyone on Friday.
Here's a behind the scenes look at HFW pre-cropping, I just saw posted:
