Schrunk, Martinsen and Youngs winners

Kami (Johnny) Schrunk, Braelyn Martinsen and the Jeremy Young family won their respective categories in the 2025 Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest. The theme was “Living a BIG life in our small town”.

Kami used the analogy of a big fish in a small pond, drawing a large shark and a smaller fish. His drawings can be found in front of the Elgin Community Center.
