This Labor Day weekend, the Sacramento Audubon was proud to sponsor Madison Coan as an artist for Chalk It Up! Madison, a sophomore at Folsom High School, created a mural of local birds and water. She drew her inspiration from all the fantastic photos that have been donated to the Sacramento Audubon website.

Chalk It Up!, celebrating its 31st year, is a chalk art festival that includes live music, local food, craft vendors and other fun activities. It’s held at Fremont Park in midtown Sacramento and attended by thousands.

SAS chose to sponsor two sidewalk squares for our chalk art mural. Although sponsors do not select the artist, we think Madison did a great job! In addition to the mural, SAS President, Bill Bianco, and VP, Daphne Reimer, were on hand to spread the word about Sacrament Audubon. Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a successful event.
