The Chalk & Rocks Art Party, which promises to bring a dash of color and creativity, is set to brighten up James McKnight Park East this Wednesday, March 13, at the crisp start of 10 a.m. Don't miss the chance to get those little fingers dusty with chalk and rock decorating, a perfect pit stop for some spring break amusement.

The city's previous attempt at hosting the event was dampened by Mother Nature's untimely downpour, leading to a rescheduling. "Our plants love the rain but our pop ups do not!" lamented the original post from the Mansfield Police Department's Facebook page. The post added, "The Chalk & Rocks Art Party is rescheduled to this Wednesday, March 13, at 10 a.m. due to soggy cement and muddy grass... great for puddles but not for art and play!" Rest assured, parents and guardians, the forecast for creativity is now looking up, with sunny skies providing the perfect canvas for rock and chalk creations.

Event organizers assure the community that while the art party had to be postponed, the rest of the spring break activities are moving forward as scheduled, pending any further updates or capricious weather. For families who've been eagerly waiting to enjoy the town's outdoor activities, this is the news you've been chalk — er, holding out for.

Interested participants are reminded to check for final confirmations and updates. The Mansfield Police Department Facebook page will provide the latest details on the Chalk & Rocks Art Party and any potential rain checks for other events. So, grab your kiddos and head on out for a morning filled with art, play, and the kind of spring break fun that doesn't require a cabana or a plane ticket—just a piece of chalk and a little imagination.
