Bringing the kids to LitFest Saturday morning? Perfect timing.

The Carnegie is hosting a free patriotic children's program at 10 AM — a fun, age-appropriate celebration of America's 250th with stories and songs. No ticket, no cost, just show up.

And if the little ones need a snack break after, the free Marketplace at Courthouse Square runs right next door until 2 PM.

Hey — quick heads up.

Rick Bragg tickets are still out there, but this is the kind of event that sells out and then everyone's sad about it.

Don't be sad about it. 🎟️
