Banzaicon

Devon and Lexi are the Chalk Twins. The Chalk Twins are masters of murals as these twin sisters work together to create chalk artwork of epic proportions. Throughout the event you can watch the Chalk Twins as they complete their masterpiece. We encourage you to get down low and talk to them about art, geeky stuff, twin stuff – whatever you like. They don’t bite. We promise.
