The Rice Public Library is bringing a full day of activity to the city gym this summer, as it hosts its annual Summer Reading Kickoff from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., on Saturday, June 6, located at 305 N. Dallas St in Rice.
The event is free and open to the public. Atmos Energy is sponsoring this year’s kickoff.
The Perot Museum of Nature and Science will have its traveling truck on-site from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., giving kids a chance to explore hands-on science exhibits. Vendors will also be set up during those same hours, with a bounce house available throughout the day.
At 3 p.m., Creature Teacher takes over, with a live animal presentation that tends to be a crowd-pleaser for younger attendees.
Food trucks will be on hand as well. Longhorn BBQ 220, Mr. Beefy and Dos Hermanas are among those scheduled to serve.
Local vendors taking part include Bluebonnet Boba Brew, Heavenly Brew & More, Soggy Peso Laundromat, Thankfully Caffeinated, Southern Girls Sweet Treats, Interwoven Therapeutic, Lazy Chapter Apothecary, Stitches & Swirls by LB, The Tatted Baker, Busy Bee Bakery, Evelyn’s Bowtique and A Touch of Mexico, among others.
The annual event is popular in Rice for its support of small businesses, while also highlighting the importance of literacy to community residents.
