📚🎶 Back to the Books + Live Music at Whistle Stop Plaza 🎶📚With the first day of school right around the corner, it’s time for Back to the Books on Main Street! From 2:30–4:30 PM, downtown transforms into a walk-through storybook as local businesses feature pages from a children’s book that families can read by visiting shop to shop.
At each stop, kids will receive school supplies, and at the end of the route, every child will take home a copy of the featured book.
📖 Stay tuned for the book reveal!
