Hop into your favorite story book costume and join Kids in Development Slidell (K.I.D.S.) for A Story Book Kind of Day, Saturday, April 6, 2024 in Slidell’s Heritage Park. The free, family-friendly, storybook-themed event takes place 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is inclusive to all ages and abilities.
For the second annual event, themed “Pirates and Princess”, A Storybook Kind Of Day promises to be a delightful experience for families, featuring engaging activities, storytelling sessions, and interactive learning opportunities, all centered around the theme of pirates and princesses. Attendees can look forward to a day packed with daring adventures and royal charm while contributing to a meaningful cause — ensuring the safety of infants and young children in St. Tammany Parish.
Funds raised from this event, along with donations from supporters, will enable K.I.D.S. to provide free car seats through certified installation specialists to those facing financial challenges and serve children across St. Tammany Parish.
