Stories In The Park Fun Fair 2024

Mark your calendar for this amazing family event.  The fifth annual Stories in the Park fun fair takes over Head Lake Park  Aug. 28. Running from noon to 2 p.m. attendees will have the chance to  listen to readings from seasoned authors, enjoy games and activities  provided by community service groups, and a free lunch.  There will be lots of activities. An array of community partners,  such as the Haliburton Highlands Museum, Turtle Guardians, EarlyON Child  and Family Centre, Point in Time, SIRCH Community Services, and the  Haliburton County Public Library will have pop-up games and stations  providing information about their services.

The Haliburton Highlands OPP, Dysart et al fire department, and  Haliburton Highlands EMS will also be in attendance, bringing vehicles  for youth to tour.

The Lions Club is hosting a bean bag toss, mini putt, ladder toss,  giant pick-up sticks, fish pond, and parachute games. Every child leaves the event with a new book,  provided by the Lions Club.

Gord Kidd and friends will be putting on a family dance party, there are fun photo boards, and paint-a-story activities  for families. Stories will be read throughout the event by volunteers,  including children’s authors Daniela Ferrante and Dina Russo-De Cotiis.

“You can paint a story, hear a story, act out a story – there’s no end to the fun people can have,” Stelter said.

It’s free to attend.
