And just like that, another successful Read-A-Thon is in the books!
We would like to take a minute to thank everyone who made our Read-A-Thon possible this year. First of all, a big thank you to Thrivent Action Teams for making this year's event possible.
Next, we would like to thank those who filled our "barnyard" with animals this year—Creatures Great and Small Petting Zoo, our therapy dog teams of Heidi and Lola + Deb and Ethan, and, of course, Madison Hildebrand for providing our guest of honor, Wilbur the piglet. We'd also like to thank Caleb Barshinger for providing us with a tractor as our photo backdrop.
A big thank you goes to Carman's Ice cream for bringing their tasty treats to our wonderful event. Finally, we would like to send a great big thank you to every reader and to every person who volunteered their time to bring our Charlotte's Web dream to life.
We are humbled by the amount of love and support that our community provides. We could not be more thrilled with the turnout at this year's event, and we hope that all who joined us enjoyed the day just as much as we did! We hope to see you all again for next year's Read-A-Thon! Carman’s Creamery Creatures great and small
