Children's Author Event

Join us for a fun-filled FREE event with Children's author Judy Wise.

The morning's activities will consist of a reading from Judy's brand-new book, Wild Footprints, as well as a chance to grab a copy of the book and get it signed. Judy will also be running a mask-making workshop, inspired by all of the wonderfully wild creatures found within the pages of her book.
