Visit the Canajoharie Library & Arkell Museum for a special Story Hour with your favorite stuffed animal friend. We'll start off by making nametags for each of our friends and getting to know them all a little better, then moving into one of the Museum galleries for Story Hour; this special reading time with your stuffed animal will include carefully selected stories to help them get ready for their big overnight adventure. Then, help us tuck our stuffed animal friends in, and all of the humans will head home for the evening. Don't worry, we have the famous Night Watch guard to keep an eye on them overnight!

Don't forget to pick them up on Saturday, December 9 between 12:00-5:00 and hear all the stories of what they did while you were away! Each stuffed animal will go home with a special report card detailing how their overnight went, including some photographs of their late night activities.

This program is free and open for students of all ages. For more information, contact Curator of Education & Public Engagement Jenna Peterson Riley at (518) 673-2314 x 113 or by email at jriley@arkellmuseum.org.
