After a successful pilot in Ionia County's Portland last fall, an event that reminds parents and caregivers to talk to their young children has rolled out county-wide.

The Ionia County Great Start Collaborative, area libraries and local merchants have teamed up for a “Talking is Teaching” scavenger hunt to get families to “hone in” on the importance of talking, reading and singing every day. The event, aimed at families with children younger than 6, runs through May 27: https://thedailynews.cc/articles/great-start-collaborative-7-libraries-local-businesses-partner-on-scavenger-hunt-for-families/
