On the second Saturday of June, every year businesses in Valparaiso purchase a sidewalk square for charity for Family & Youth Service Bureau. An artist offers their time to create an image of the business’s desire they are assigned to.

In 2022, I was assigned to Buchertech and I had a wonderful time collaborating and making their creation of Popeye combined with Ted Bucher, CEO of Buchertech. It was a lot of fun!! I look forward to helping out in the next few years! I have now been doing their Chalk the Walk since then and listed our 2024 & 2025 Chalk the Walk Charity.

I am thankful to Linda Murkve for photographing and Carrie Honeycutt for being so lovely and getting me started!
