Opinion: Chalk-Full-O-Gratitude

Sep 3, 2024

To the editor,

The 10th Chalk-Full-O-Fun Festival was a huge success and the Chalkfest team sincerely appreciates all the community support that helped to make it happen. 

Financial contributors included: the Wareham and Rochester Cultural Councils, the First Citizens Federal Credit Union, Wareham’s Community Events Committee, and over 40 artisan crafters and community organizations. Other collaborators were the Wareham Free Public Library, the Wareham Police Department, the Harbormaster’s staff, and Eastern Bank volunteers. 

Thanks to South Shore Technical High School and Powder Horn Press who printed our materials. Kudos to students from Wareham High School’s National Honor Society and Key Club who joined Onset Bay Association volunteers in the hard work of preparing for, and executing the many tasks throughout the day. Finally, a thank you to the team from Wareham Media who captured the essence of the day in their video clip. 

We are immensely grateful to each and every one of these supporters and to the artists who graced the Onset sidewalks with their creativity. Thank you for marking a decade of fun in the true spirit of community. 

The Chalkfest Team
