Story Time-Bon Air Library

RichmondMom Calendar — Wed, 31 Dec 2014 14:22:52 +0000

Our story times are developed by trained staff and focus on the skills every child should know so that when they enter school they are ready to learn to read. Age appropriate books, songs, music, finger plays and flannel boards are used to capture the attention of the young child.

Our craft and activity sheets extend the story time experience and provide children a chance to develop their fine motor skills, build self-esteem and gain positive emotional responses to learning.

Easter on Parade

RichmondMom Calendar — Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:36:05 +0000

Easter on Parade, the beloved Richmond tradition that showcases attendees “parading” up and down scenic Monument Avenue, continues this year on Sunday, April 5, 1-5 p.m. on the blocks between Allen and Davis Avenues. The event is produced by Venture Richmond and sponsored by Bon Secours.

Each year more than 25,000 people converge upon the four-block site to celebrate the arrival of spring and the beauty of Monument Avenue, taking this once-a-year opportunity to stroll in the streets, which are closed to vehicular traffic. Music, arts, crafts, children’s activities, food, balloon artistry, a petting zoo, and of course, people and pet watching all are a part of the celebration which is, literally, a parade of Richmonders. Admission is free.

A highlight of the event promises to be the ever-popular Pet Bonnet and People Bonnet Showcases, held at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., respectively, on the Zayde R. Dotts Main Stage at Allen Avenue.

Special thanks to sponsors: Bon Secours, City of Richmond, 96.5 KLR, 103.7 The River, Hot 100.9, K95, and James River Greyhounds.
