Several new events are scheduled for Scotty Philip Days, August 11th, 12th, and 13th. "This year we are trying to find awesome new events geared towards engaging all demographics, from senior citizens to our young kids,” said Tricia Burns, one of the event organizers and Philip Chamber President.
Center Ave. Market will be Saturday, August 12th at 9:00 a.m., featuring a kickback to days of the flea market that will offer a little of everything for sale.

Chalk The Way to Scotty Philip Days will be held on Friday, August 11th, all day.

If you do not have sidewalk chalk head to the library; they have some in bags ready to hand out. 
Prizes will be handed out to the best artist. You are invited to take pictures and post them online using #philipsd to the Philip, Facebook page to be entered.
