Mrs. Wishy Washy will grace our side stage at 11:30 on Saturday. She has a terrific story to tell the children about
her farm and what she puts in her big, soapy tin tub. Mrs. W-W will be reading from her colorful book and every child will receive
a complimentary copy from the Ag Fair, subsidized by Penguin Group (USA). A surprise page of Mrs. Wishy-Washy's book will
come to life and visit this very special story hour. Parents, have your camera ready to snap a memorable picture of your child
and Mrs. W-W and her surprise mode of transportation!
There will be TWO more story hour events at this year's Fair. During the
Teddy Bear Clinic on Friday at 1:00 p.m., a nurse will read Animal Hospital with the children after they stitch up the wounded
