The East Peterborough Lions are hosting their 3rd Annual Story Reading in the Park at the Cameron Street Tot lot in Peterborough. The Lions bring in Special guest speakers to speak to the children about different serivices and organizations thoroughout the community and what they do. The event is held every Wednesday in August with a different theme each week. This theme for August 9th is "Sports" and the guest speakers will be from Special Olympics here in Peterborough. 

Following the speaker a story is read to the children and we then choose 9 children to receive a brand new copy of the book that was read. Then a light luncheon is provided for all the children. The event takes place from 11:00 AM till 1:00 PM and every child is invited to come and join us.
