Summer Reading Rewards

Summer Reading Rewards

Wondering what to do with your children as the days run into weeks and the summer is winding down?  How about prepare them for the beginning of the school year in a relaxed and rewarding way with incentives.  Several bookstores have programs that entice young readers to complete those lists by offering freebies.  It's also a great chance to interact with our local community.  The Twig Bookstore is a wonderful resource in the Quarry Market which has a Farmer's Market each Sunday offering fresh locally grown and produced goods.  It's not just fruits and veggies anymore as you can see by the offerings listed on last week's Facebook Page which read like a foodies dream, "Watermelon, tomatoes, peaches, okra, eggs, arugula, Sol y Luna sourdough bread, Edelen Farms' grass-fed beef, South Texas Heritage Pork Polish sausage and pork chops, hummus, lemonade and a smoothie from The Lemonade Company and more."
