You could not, would not, should not miss a birthday such as this! We’re having a party, it’s truer than true. We want to celebrate and party with you!
Come spend the afternoon at Virginia Tech’s Reynolds Homestead celebrating the birthday of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, March 3. Admission is $5 per person; find details and register online at reynoldshomestead.vt.edu.
The afternoon will be filled with various fun activities for families to enjoy. Sit back and listen to a story, read aloud, walk around and make crafts, or try your hand at a Seuss science experiment.
After eating some Seuss-inspired snacks and refreshments, maybe you’ll find yourself getting your camera out and spending some time taking silly photos in the photo booth using a variety of Seuss character props. The options are endless.
Enjoy a leisurely afternoon with your family celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday. This will be a floating event, and everyone is welcome to come and stay for as little or as long as they would like.
In addition, this event will continue with the support of the Patrick County Dolly Parton Imagination Library. This monthly book-gifting program is available to any child under 5 living in Patrick County. The program is sponsored by the Patrick County Chamber of Commerce, STEP, INC, One Family Productions, and Stuart Rotary with support from a local steering committee of educators, civic leaders, and business owners. Participation in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library is free, though a registration form must be completed to sign up. Additional information about the program and registration forms will be available at the Dr. Seuss birthday celebration.
Special guests at the event will include a variety of Dr. Seuss’s imaginative characters as well as a lead cast member from Patrick & Henry Community College’s upcoming presentation of Dolly Parton’s smash-hit musical 9 –to 5. The show is at Walker Fine Arts theatre on the P&HCC main campus in Martinsville in April and tickets go on sale Friday, March 1. We are excited to have “Dolly” with us in person to celebrate the contributions of both Dolly Parton and Dr. Seuss to children’s literacy.
