Westport Book Shop Announces Winter Family Fest this Saturday
The Westport Book Shop invites families to Jesup Green this Saturday, December 11th, from 10:30 a.m. to Noon, for its first “Winter Family Fest”.
Join the Westport Book Shop for fun winter activities, including snowflake-themed crafts, music and games to keep you moving, and hot chocolate and cookies from The Porch @ Christies. There will also be winter story readings inside the Book Shop every 15 minutes.
“The Westport Book Shop is more than a used book shop, it’s a community gathering place. We are happy to organize events that bring people together, and bring visibility to other local businesses and nonprofits. The Porch @ Christies, which stresses inclusion and employment of individuals of all abilities, and its related nonprofit Sweet P Bakery, are terrific partners for this event,” said Jocelyn Barandiaran, President of the nonprofit that operates the Book Shop.
The Winter Family Fest will take place rain or shine, so dress warm!
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please RSVP by phoning the Book Shop at 203-349-5141, or send an email to bookshop@westportbooksaleventures.org
