October, 2012 – Horse Tales Literacy Project Partners with Wellington for Story Time at Scott’s Place
Story Time is ready to return in Wellington, and this time, it’s going to the horses! Beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 6th, children of all ages will be delighted as Shelly LeConte, South Florida Coordinator of the Horse Tales Literacy Project, shares the classic tale Little Black Goes to the Circus by Walter Farley. Once the story is over, all guests will be treated to a free goody bag filled with fun treats to celebrate the love of reading.
Story Time will take place at Scott’s Place barrier free playground, located at 12190 Forest Hill Boulevard, on the first Saturday of every month through May 2013. Participants are encouraged to enjoy this equestrian-inspired playground before and after the event. The park is designed with large play structures and ramps ensuring children and parents of all physical abilities can play together.
