Horse Tales Literacy Project Partners with Wellington for Story Time at Scott’s Place
Story Time is going to the horses at Scott’s Place barrier-free playground in Wellington. Beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 3rd, children of all ages will be delighted as Shelly LeConte, South Florida Coordinator of the Horse Tales Literacy Project, shares a classic horse tale. 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 takes place at Scott’s Place, located at 12190 Forest Hill Boulevard, on the first Saturday of every month through May 2013. Participants are encouraged to enjoy the 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.
