The last couple of days of a free event is happening in Jefferson.

Greene County ISU Extension and the Jefferson Rotary Club have partnered together for the Storywalk event. Extension Director Lori Mannel tells Raccoon Valley Radio the month-long program is coming to a close this weekend, where people can walk around the downtown square and read the story, “Bea’s Bees.” Mannel says it’s the story of Bea wanting to save the bee population. 

Participants are to start at the former Angie’s Tea Garden building, located at 100 East State Street, and follow the yellow poster board clockwise around the square. The final stop will be at the Extension office on Washington Street. Mannel encourages everyone to visit the participating businesses that have the yellow poster board in their storefront windows.

“There’s free activities and some fun little prizes along the way, if you go during business hours in some of the stores. Come here at the Extension office and receive a free jar of honey, and some kids, if they fill out a test, it’s a very simple test, they may be eligible to win the actual book ‘Bea’s Bees.’ So again, it’s going to wrap up this weekend.”

Mannel adds if you do the Storywalk during non-business hours, you can wait until Monday to receive a free jar of honey and enter your name to win the free copy of the book.
