to come dressed as a favorite storybook character. The Parade will begin at 11:00.
The route will begin at the grassy area in front of the Estuarium and end there as
well. ECU Storybook Characters will perform immediately following the parade. In
the event of rain there will not be a parade or a performance!!!

**The Beaufort/Hyde Partnership for Children and Child Connections will be hosting
an “open-house” from 5pm-7pm Thursday evening. This event is an opportunity for child
care providers to showcase their programs for members of the community. At 6:00pm, we
will present awards to those child care providers nominated and selected for an award.
This is sponsored in part by the Washington Beaufort County Chamber of Commerce.

· Friday, April 24th, is “Cuddle up with a good book” Day. Providers will be encouraged
to read a copy of the book we provide at some point during this day. Guest readers are
also available upon request!
