WATERTOWN, NY (March 12, 2025) – WPBS is excited to announce the return of its beloved annual literacy fair for children and families: READY SET FUN! The event is a celebration of learning that has been held annually for over 20 years and features a wide array of activities, including exhibits from local community partners, meet-and-greets with PBS KIDS characters, a gently-used book swap (this year hosted by the North Country Library System, where every child can obtain a free book), the presentation of the winners of the annual WPBS Writer’s Contest and much more.
This year’s theme, “Spring Into Reading!” invites families to enjoy an exciting day of storytelling, interactive games, and fun-filled activities in preparation for the Spring season. The event will be held at the Salmon Run Mall on Saturday, March 22, 2025, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. As always, admission is FREE and open to the public!
