Parks and Rec Partners with Local Library to Host Storybook Trail

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG / WECP) – Bay County Parks and Rec are teaming up with the local library to host a haunting and fun event this weekend.

At the Storybook Trail, kids can explore the park and read spooky stories. Stops on the trail will lead to passages of a Halloween tale.

“It’s supposed to be somewhat interactive. You get pieces of history as you move through different sections of the park. And of course, as fall approaches, it’s a Halloween theme. And while you’re at it, you can also use the library. It’s a way to introduce the public to the library and get people to enjoy the parks, ”said Travis Barbee, Bay County Director of Parks and Recreation.

The first Storybook Trail takes place this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Under the Oaks Park.

It’s a free event and you will also be able to check out the mobile library and a new mini-library which was recently donated by a local citizen.

If you can’t come this Saturday, don’t worry! There will be a few more Storybook Trail events.
