The Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum is pleased to announce their 2nd annual Read Across America Dr. Seuss “Eggstravaganza.” The family-friendly event for all ages will be presented in collaboration with the Santa Ynez Valley Libraries, is free and open to the public. It takes place Saturday, March 7, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM at the Museum, located at 3596 Sagunto Street, Santa Ynez, CA. What makes this a special experience is that it will feature a read-aloud of Dr. Seuss’s Horse Museum! – a newly published New York Times #1 Bestseller, illustrated by Andrew Joyner.
Dr. Seuss fans will be treated to activities with thematic elements from the book. Special guest presenters include “Miss Kindness” (Karen Palmer), “Robo the Clown” (Robert Hasley), and artist-musician Teresa McNeil MacLean. These presenters and others will be on hand to provide creative projects for kids. Participants will enjoy making their own “Seussically-inspired” artwork. Dr. Seuss-themed snacks will be served such as “Go Dog Go” hot dogs, green deviled eggs, and more. There will be a free raffle for a variety of books about horses. In addition, visitors can view horse themed artwork and exhibits which complement the story in Dr. Seuss’s Horse Museum. Original artwork by students attending Inspire Charter School will be on display. Equine enthusiasts will be able to see displays of antique saddles, tack and equipment used by Valley Vaqueros and cowboys for riding and caring for their horses. In addition, the historic Santa Ynez Branch Library, established in 1910 and located next door to the Museum, will be open for touring.
