If you ever find yourself in downtown Lee, Massachusetts, look for the friendly bear statue in front of Ben’s on Main Street.

He’s holding a box full of chalk so you can pause and draw something on the sidewalk. How fun!

Sadly, it didn’t even occur to me to snap a photo of the art folks have left behind but I do really like the idea of giving kids and adults the open invite to be creative.

By the way, Ben’s is a clothing and shoe store for all your outdoor needs. Check it out if you’re in town!
