Evening Storytime with Dana Garrett
November 13 @ 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm
Bring the whole family to Parleaux Beer Lab for a cozy Evening Storytime!
Join us Friday, November 13th at 6pm as local author Dana Garrett shares her book, Alana & Wyatt’s Adventures: The Sully Backpack Surprise with us.
Settle in with a pint of Parleaux’s small-batch craft beer and a juice box for the little ones while enjoying a family-friendly reading.
After storytime, kids are invited to stick around for a fun craft activity inspired by the book.
A trip to the doctor can feel big… especially when something unexpected happens. When Alana’s AAC device breaks and her foot starts to hurt, everything feels overwhelming. With her brother, Wyatt and his “camping gear,” they take a trip to the doctor’s office.
With the help of a kind doctor and a special Sully Sensory Backpack filled with calming tools and step-by-step guidance, Alana learns what to expect, finds her voice, and bravely moves through her visit.
