Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 27th of July.
Good morning, Eau Claire.
Altoona’s new container park The Yard has opened after a year of delays.
The park uses shipping containers to host restaurants, a stage for music and shops—providing a new shared space for local residents.
Nearly 200 artists gathered on Saturday at UW Eau Claire for Chalkfest, drawing chalk art on campus sidewalks despite reduced space from the demolition of Zorn Arena+ artists as young as 12 competed for awards.
Organizers said they hope to restore the lost space next year+ the event will allow more artists to showcase their work.
