PELC hosted our 5th annual Reading Round-Up on July 24th. It was a scorcher! Despite the heat, close to 200 people came out to enjoy the barbecue and festivities, showcasing the beautifully upgraded Macaulay Village Park.
Giant Tiger of Picton sponsored the free barbecue, prepared by the Cherry Valley Park Association, with burgers, hot dogs and lots of watermelon!
This family-focused event has become a cherished Heights community tradition, featuring:
The popular family literacy event began in 2021 as a collaboration between Prince Edward Learning Centre, County Kids Read and the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives. It provides families with opportunities to connect with community resources in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Additional community sponsors include Early ON Child & Family Centre, the Roc, Baxter Arts Centre, Department of Illumination, Macaulay Village (Heights) Neighbourhood Group, Greater Than County Youth Collective, and broker Shannon Warr-Hunter.
A water curtain, exploratory water table by the Hub, and scheduled soaked-sponge water fights helped break up the heat! There were also arcade games to enjoy (Skeeball and The Claw), courtesy of the Department of Illumination.
