What's cool is that we had about 10 different kids working on it throughout the day.
I took a photo and cut it into squares, each kid pulled one out of a bowl and proceeded to the pre-number concrete squares to create their mini masterpiece. Each kid had their own style, but when it was done it all sorta came together.
(Well, except for that one kid that kept doing his squares upside-down! ;)
Fortunately for us the area outside the hot shop is comprised of perfect squares of concrete, so it was easy to put together.
We just wished we had more vibrant colors...that woulda been great.
This could be a cool project for Frost Park...dontcha think?

(And when I was there the other day, I was wondering what the temperature-rating was of the fire sprinklers at the ceiling of the hot-shop.) |

Very impressive and professional looking piece. Each square is filled out so nicely.
Under your guidance, they will be ready to enter the Frost Park contests in no time. |

I say bring those youngsters to Frost Park Friday lunch hour as soon as the spirit moves. The only real pre-req is an affection for Tacoma's people, places, personality...
Let those kids give those 20, 30, and 40-something chalking regulars a run for their money(or chalk dust or whatever)! |
