Fall/Winter StoryWalk

Even though the pool is closed, our Storywalk is still available! Be sure to check out Extra Yarn and the playground, fitness walk, or the dog park at Memorial Park,

This is the story of little Annabelle, who discovers a box of brightly colored yarn on a cold, dark day in a dull, grey town. So she knits a cozy jumper to keep herself nice and toasty warm and finds, to her surprise, that she still has yarn left over. So she decides to knit her dog a jumper too but, hang on a second, she STILL has extra yarn! Annabelle knits and knits and, soon, she’s blanketed the entire town in a rainbow of color, knitting away the dreary iciness that grips it. Her prodigious status spreads far and wide. It doesn’t take long for the evil Archduke to set his beady eyes upon Annabelle’s magical box of yarn but, little does he know, you have to have a little bit of magic inside your heart for it to work…
