The Skye Canyon community is inviting families to celebrate Earth Day right from their driveways.

The ChalkForEarth event Wednesday invites families to create Earth-themed artwork on the sidewalk or driveway in front of their homes.

Participants in Skye Canyon can pick up free chalk at a table set up outside the community’s Skye Center from noon to 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Participants then can upload submissions to Skye Canyon social media Wednesday and tag @SkyeCanyon and #ChalkForEarth or email a photograph to events@olympiacompanies.com for entry in a contest for prizes.

Contact Janna Karel at jkarel@reviewjournal.com or 702-477-3835. Follow @jannainprogress on Twitter.
