Erika’s weekend picks have a mix of indoor and outdoor activities this week.
PopUp StoryWalk
Peter Kirk Park and Redmond Library FREE
Head to Peter Kirk Park for a fun walk detailing the story of “The Water Princess” by Susan Verde. This adventure is perfect for toddlers through elementary-aged children. Please wear masks and socially distance on the path, particularly while reading each page of the PopUp. Or, starting on Saturday, you can take in “Fox and the Bike Ride” by Corey Tabor outside the Redmond Library.
StoryWalks are a local program promoting literacy, health and art appreciation through deconstructed children’s storybooks in outdoor community spaces.
