Thanks again to everyone who was part of our summer reading program this year. Special thanks to Casey’s, The Leather Guy, The Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota, and Conquer Ninja Gym for donating prizes! Thanks to Tri-City United Community Education for partnering with us for the popular eagle program!
Thanks also to our great volunteers, the grown-ups who bring their young ones to our events, and particularly to every kid who participated! We had 287 sign up, which is a great number.
We have given away all of our grand prizes baskets and hope that everyone had a good time and maybe even learned something, whether they won or not. We captured pictures of a few happy faces.
