The story posted on the StoryWalk® trail at Pine Hill Park changes monthly, and a special story event accompanies each one on the second Sunday of each month.
This month’s StoryWalk® Sunday is a charming way to celebrate the upcoming holidays.
Kids will join a guided walk along the story trail as they read the book, then make a special craft project to take home.
They will also enjoy the warmth of a campfire and yummy s’mores!
The featured storybook for December is “Bear Stays Up for Christmas,” by Karma Wilson, with illustrations by Jane Chapman.
“Bear’s friends are determined to keep Bear awake for Christmas! So, they wake Bear up and have him help them find a Christmas tree, bake cakes, hang up stockings, and sing Christmas songs.
Bear stays up—by discovering that giving is one of the best Christmas presents of all!”
The event is FREE, but pre-registration is required by December 8.
More details about this event will be released to purchasers about 1 week before the event.

Kick off the holiday season with Renfrew as we remember back to the era of our last private residents, Edgar and Emma Nicodemus!
Christmas in America from the 1940s through the 1960s meant aluminum trees, department store Santas, and cartoon specials on TV.
Every kid in the suburbs had to have an Easy-Bake Oven, a G.I. Joe, or a Slinky.
The coolest houses had rotating color wheels for their trees.
Historian Leslie Goddard explores this optimistic era in a new illustrated lecture, using photographs, advertisements, greeting cards, and catalogs to explain why this era was such a turning point for how we celebrate the holidays.
