And the Guelph Barrier-Free Committees will be there as one of those community groups. Kids can come get their names in braille courtesy of yours truly, try and decode the braille message, take an alphabet card, learn about disaibilities with a neat little colouring book, try and write using a writing splint, check out braille blocks, a braille book, a teddy-bear-sized wheelchair, and lots more!

Trix and I will be there for the whole 3-hour event. It should be fun. I’m looking forward to reading this goofy little kids’ book about the Perkins Panda. Good times! I hope to see lots of little kiddies there.
