March Programs Focus Environment and Literacy
As the famous American philosopher Kermit the Frog once said, "It's good to be green." Seeing wisdom in these words, Fairytale Town celebrates 'being green' in a variety of ways this March.
On Saturday, March 3, Green Eggs and Ham takes center stage as Fairytale Town celebrates literacy and the birth of Dr. Seuss with Read Around Fairytale Town. Children's entertainer, Mister Cooper will bring the stories of Seuss alive with his dynamic performances at 12 PM and 2 PM on the Mother Goose Stage. Children can create and wear Cat in the Hat or Thing One and Thing Two headgear, and participate in literary fun throughout the grounds. Read Around Fairytale Town continues on Sunday, March 18, when magician Trevor Wyatt brings the magic of books alive with tricks and storytelling performances on the Mother Goose Stage at 12 PM and 2 PM. This literacy program is made possible by a generous grant from Target.
On Saturday March 10, 11AM - 3PM, Fairytale Town Goes Green with exhibits, displays and activities on ecology and the environment. If we each do a little, we all do a lot; so children and families will learn about the little things they can do to create a healthier environment. Hands-on activities will focus on creating art from recycled materials. PuppetArt Theater will perform a conservation-based version of the puppet show, The Three Little Pigs. Exhibits from Sacramento organizations such as the Department of Utilities, Effie Yeaw Nature Center, YNOT Recycle and Solar Cookers International will share information on how families can reduce, reuse, and recycle. Eco-friendly cars will be on exhibit to showcase the latest technology in fuel-efficiency. This educational program is made possible through sponsorships from Maita Toyota and Hall's Window Center.
Beginning March 1, Fairytale Town is open 9 AM to 4 PM daily (weather permitting). For more information, please call 916-808-7462 or visit www.fairytaletown.org.
