MADISON, Wis. Our Vibrant Community hosted a chalk positivity event near the north side on Sunday to spread happy messages for people to see.
The organization is working with volunteers to create chalk art and positive messages along Sherman Avenue and Northport Drive.
“This is a challenging time for our mental health with just so many unknowns and uncertainties and then also added onto that the social isolation,” said Our Vibrant Community founder Rhiannon Gurley. “It can be hard to find the good in every day, little surprise moments as messages on our walks can change our mood for the better.”

Community Investor, Owner of Great Harvest Bakery
In this series of articles about Community Investment, David Kesling, owner of Great Harvest Bakery answers the question, “Why did you invest in Elkins and why do you continue to invest?”
There’s nothing better than the smell of fresh baked bread that reminds you of your grandma’s kitchen. That’s exactly what I wanted to replicate when I decided to open Great Harvest Bakery. Both of my grandmothers were great bakers growing up and it inspired me to open a from scratch bakery for the community of Elkins, which was something we didn’t have! We officially opened our doors last November in the middle of COVID-19, but despite those added challenges and protocols, Great Harvest is flourishing.
Community Investors with Byrdâs
In this series of articles about Community Investment, Tommy and Thomas Byrd, owners of Byrd’s House of Donuts, answer the question, “Why did you invest in Elkins and why do you continue to invest?”
We’ve always wanted to own a business and in 2016 that opportunity presented itself with a ready-made donut shop. The thing is, neither one of us had ever made a donut! But the shop was set up, the equipment was there, and we were ready to take the opportunity we saw in front of us. So, Byrd’s House of Donuts was born in a rented space on the Beverly Pike/5-lane.
