Story Time Character Hour

On the second Saturday of every month, the Campus Store hosts Story Time Character Hour at our SUMC location (with some exceptions). Story Time is an engaging event for children ages two to five. It’s full of reading, activities, and crafts— complete with the chance to meet and take pictures with their favorite storybook characters! Our most popular events feature kid-favorite characters such as Paddington, Pete the Cat, and Rainbow Fish. Best of all, the event is absolutely FREE and open to the public.
