We are absolutely loving all the amazing sidewalk artwork we’ve seen so far! 🎨 A huge shoutout to everyone who has stopped by to leave their mark (literally)! One of the best parts of the past week has been looking out the window and watching so many adults happily tackling the hopscotch and other obstacle courses that were drawn on the ground... it has been hilarious and heartwarming! 🏃‍♂️❤️
Want to add your own flair to our concrete canvas? You can stop by anytime! Just head up to our walk-up window and ask our team for a bucket of chalk.
A few quick rules for our artists:
🎨 Pick your canvas: Take a look at the map photo to see the eligible areas highlighted in teal (Main Street and North 6th St. sidewalks).
🖍️ Keep it clean: Please keep all artwork family-friendly. No questionable or derogatory drawings!
♻️ Share the fun: Simply bring the chalk bucket back to the window when you're done so the next person can use it.
Come grab your favorite ice cream, let out your inner child, and keep making downtown Hays so colorful! 🍦✨

What an incredible evening for March 2 Main! 🍦✨

We had an absolute blast seeing all the new and returning students from Fort Hays State University, Fort Hays Tech | North Central, and Hays Academy of Hair Design in Downtown Hays!

Between the FHSU marching band bringing the energy and GALLONS of ice cream (for the root b**r floats), downtown Hays was buzzing with excitement. A huge shoutout to Chief of Police Don Scheibler for jumping in on scooping duty to help us serve up smiles! 🍨👮‍♂️

We’re so proud to be part of this community and can’t wait to see you all down on The Bricks this school year! 💛🖤

Fresh Rain, Fresh Canvas! 🌧️🎨

The recent rain washed our sidewalks completely clean giving us a perfect blank slate... and it didn't take long for our local artists to get right back to work! Someone already took the opportunity to draw an awesome DoodleBob character (think 2-dimensional SpongeBob) right out front alongside a pretty pink flower!

Want to join in on the fun? We've included a map highlighting all of the eligible areas in teal where you can draw, which includes all of the Main Street sidewalks and the North (6th St.) sidewalk next to the shop.

Here is how it works:
- Grab your supplies: Stop by our walk-up window and ask our staff for a bucket of chalk.
- Get creative: Add your own family-friendly doodles, characters, or positive messages. (Please don't write or draw anything questionable or derogatory!)
- Wrap it up: Bring the bucket of chalk back to the window when you're done so the next artist can take a turn.
- Treat yourself: Grab your favorite ice cream to enjoy while you create!

Let's bring some color back to downtown Hays one sidewalk at a time. Come see us today! 🍦✨
