The Westfield Washington Public Library and City of Westfield are partnering to host the fifth annual Fireside Tales, a free, themed story time program at the Council Circle Fire Pit at Simon Moon Park, 2710 171st St. Fireside Tales will take place at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 24 and Oct. 15 and 29.
Fireside Tales is a free family activity that features stories, songs, rhymes, an art activity, and of course, s’mores. The library’s Vicki Parker will be reading the tales around the campfire.
Fireside Tales themes include:
■ Sept. 18 – “Little Creatures.” Crawl into stories about little creatures. Will there be turtles, frogs, snakes or insects? Make a snake to take home. If you have a little creature to show share, bring it.
■ Oct. 15 – “Sleepy Stories.” Shhh, come hear stories about hibernation and all things autumn. Create a sleeping habitat for creatures that hibernate.
■ Oct. 29 – “Howl-o-ween.” Wear your costumes, if you like, and hear stories that are just a little scary and some that are downright howl-arious. Create and decorate a mask.
The fire at the pit will be manned by trained parks department staff during the event. Families are encouraged to attend and do not need to register. For more information, call 804-3183 or visit www.westfield.in.gov.
