Dinosaur Show at Summer Reading Program

The White County Public Library has kept the fun going with its Summer Reading Program. June 11 saw the Dinosaur Show come to Sparta First United Methodist, where the reading program is being hosted every Thursday.

At the Dinosaur Show, East TN Dinosaur Adventure visited to show off their knowledge, fossils, and the dinosaurs themselves to all the eager kids. Teaching the kids all about the dinosaurs, from their shapes to sounds, really got some of the young ones excited for the event. Some lucky kids were even able to lend a hand to the showcase by wearing dinosaur masks for a little showcase.

Anyone who has been at First United Methodist, they would know that the downstairs room for recreation is rather large. Well, during the Dinosaur Show, it was packed to the brim with excited kids and their parents watching from the side. It almost made it hard to take pictures with how packed it was.

Stationed just outside the Dinosaur Show was the Tennessee Department of Health, with their Upper Cumberland Dental Health program. Offering toothbrushes and books explaining the importance and how to take care of teeth, with a cute little poster up to boot, it was a shared initiative as a part of the program to make sure kids take care of their bodies just as much as their minds.

The next event is Thursday, June 18, with the Magic Show. The Magic Show is one of the events that gets the biggest reactions out of the little ones, so any parent who wants their child to participate in the Summer Reading Program should make sure to swing by Thursday at 10 am.
