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. 🎟️

In case you're still figuring out how much of LitFest to do — here's the full picture:

Friday evening: Wine, conversation, three great authors, Beth Neely asking all the right questions. Free.

Saturday morning: Kids program at the Carnegie, free Marketplace at Courthouse Square.

Saturday afternoon: Ronda Rich, the NeSmiths.

Saturday night: Rick Bragg at The Wadsworth.

You really could do the whole thing. Just putting that out there. 😄
