Downtown Parsons,Inc. 
 10Greetings!

 Thank you again for all your support. We have been very at Downtown Parsons lately planning many events for this summer! I hope that every one will take time and participate. Remember to always shop local first. We have Downtown Dollars available at the Downtown Parsons, Inc office and at the Mustard Seed these make a great gift plus you can use them pretty much everywhere.
5th Annual Art Walk

WOW !  It's already time for the 5th Annual Parsons Art Walk. Thank you for your interest in participating! Everyone who likes fine art and music is in for a real treat once again as Downtown Parsons, Inc., presents art from the heartland.This juried, fine art event will be held  Saturday, June 19.   Last year many attended.  Ribbons and prizes totaling over $3000 were awarded. This year's event will run from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., with a shortened reception and awards presentation scheduled to begin about 3:30 p.m. in the Carnegie Art Center.

            We're closing 18th Street from Main to Broadway, and Main from 18th to Central, arranging most exhibits in a contiguous pattern and using some empty lot spaces. We have some business windows and 5 tents to use for placing artists. Since we don't have the empty buildings we used last year, we encourage you to bring your tent if you have one, but street tents must be free-standing - cannot drill into streets. With the "Follow the Yellow Brick Road"  Kansas theme, we're emphasizing that regardless of the weather, this Art Walk is a GO ~ "rain or shine"!  We'll host a hospitality cart that will travel to artists(only) during the walk, and at the reception, we'll recognize winners in 11 categories, including performance, 9-12 entries, and best theme window display.  More Art Walk Information once you have clicked this link you will be on the Downtown Parsons web page you then will click the Art Walk logo for registration forms and more information.
