10th Storybook Festival

Here we are..... all together at the 10th Annual Sandusky County Storybook Festival. An event to celebrate literacy, reading, children and families. Organized as a joint project between schools, libraries, and oodles of other entities across the county. There were stations of fun spread throughout Ross High School in Fremont. The first thousand children received a free book and a little book bag. What a delightful example of what can be accomplished with planning and cooperation.

As the offical author for the event, I was assigned the school's library space and we had a continual stream of children in and out. Singing. Dancing. Reading. Celebrating. Sharing. The pictures above capture just a bit of the enthusiasm expressed by those in attendance. We had plenty of parents in attendance, snapping pictures and enjoying their children in action. Myrtle, the Recycling Turtle, was just one of the numerous attractions to round out the day's fun.
