The Dolly Parton Imagination Library and local director, Brittany Treadway, sends an invitation to all youth from birth to the age of five and family members to join in a special “Race For Reading” event on Saturday, September 20th, at the Deacons of Defense Park and Walking Trail in Jonesboro. 

Come from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm and receive a Dolly Golden Book for enrolling and take advantage of free sno-balls, rock painting, and a coloring contest. Also, Race For Reading participants who complete a mile around the walking trail will get an exciting prize.
