Great Graffiti Contest: EG Housing Authority’s annual event will be held on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. EGHA provides the tools (paint, chalk, masks & gloves) – you provide the creativity and fun. All ages are welcome to participate. Spray paint will be issued to kids 11 years old and up; children under 11 will receive chalk & finger paints. Participants may also bring their own supplies. There will also be a lip synch/dance contest too! Please provide us with the song you will be performing a week in advance, so we can forward your selection to the DJ.

Please contact Tracy at tjohnson@eghousing.com.
