Sidewalk chalk will be available for attendees to leave their own mark at the fair.

If it rains on Thursday or Saturday, the rain date will be Friday.

It’s a rare thing to see Zinn in action. The artist is known for leaving his creatures that appear to jump out at you in 3D all over town without a trace.
