Take a Turkey Trot down the story walk this week. 🦃

10 Fat Turkeys by Tony Johnston is this month's book on our Storywalk. It is a gobble gobble wibble wobble good time! Special thanks to our volunteer Terra for helping Molli put it up this lovely day.
If you, or anyone you know, is interested in sponsoring a Storywalk please reach out. We couldn't do what we do without all the help from our community.
