Word of South Kids 2022 features Literacy Lane, musician Jennifer Daniels, and free books!

Literacy. Science. Technology. Engineering. Art. And Math. Oh my! For the first time ever, FINACIOUS with support from Walmart will present Literacy Lane (Powered by STEAM) during Word of South. This inaugural walk thru experience will bring children’s books to life in combination with hands-on STEAM activities. The event will be held on a created walking path across the Cascades Park amphitheater lawn. Thanks to community partners from all sectors, a variety of books will be showcased and fun STEAM interactive stops for children 0-8 years old will take place. There will also be on-site raffles, goody bags, children’s books to take home, and a live performance with author and singer/songwriter Jennifer Daniels. Be ready to explore, create, dance, sing along, and use your imagination on your adventure down Literacy Lane!
