UPDATE: 1st Napa Riverfront Chalk Festival is Today, Sunday, April 21

UPDATE: 6 p.m April 17, 2013.

Although Sunday's First Napa Riverfront Chalk Festival is not planned as a political statement, an earlier story on Patch about the festival sparked some memories of a political chalking incident last year.

Amy Larson was arrested Sept. 11, 2012 after chalking "9/11 Truth" and "WTC Bldg 7" slogans on the First Street Bridge in Napa.

Larson and others posted several comments below on this earlier Patch story, following up on last year's events.

Larson's case, which generated widespread controversy, was dismissed by the Napa County District Attorney's office.

Will she be there Sunday? No word yet.

ORIGINAL STORY: April 8, 2013.
