Each week, kick off your tour at St. Cloud Main Street (903 Pennsylvania Ave), where you’ll pick up a special map that leads you on a delightful stroll through the heart of the city. The map will guide you to different storefronts of participating businesses, with each stop revealing a page of an exciting story! Explore the town, enjoy some shopping, and read along at your own pace—but make sure you don’t miss out on the grand finale every Saturday
Saturday mornings at 10:30 AM are extra special, as you’ll have the chance to meet not one, but TWO authors at separate locations, just a short walk away from each other. Visit the host businesses to chat with the authors, grab an autographed book, and snap some fun photos. The first 20 families to show up will get a free signed book to take home!
Bring your little ones dressed in costumes inspired by the story—they might just win the costume contest and score tickets to the St. Cloud Twin Theater! If you attend all eight events, you’ll be entered to win tickets to Wild Florida for even more family fun!
It’s the perfect blend of adventure, creativity, and community fun—so grab your map, get reading, and let the story unfold!
