StoryWalk® Grand Opening
Saturday, September 19th, 11:00am-1:00pm
Join us on Saturday, September 19th, for our new StoryWalk® Grand Opening from 11:00am-1:00pm!
The celebration will begin with a dedication of the new pathway, followed by our first official StoryWalk® program, where families can experience the story trail together for the very first time. A StoryWalk® is a fun way for families to enjoy reading and the outdoors together as pages from a children’s book are displayed along a walking route.
Once the story concludes, the fun continues with bubbles, music, food, and activities for children and families to enjoy.
