Main Street Story Walk in November and December: A Chilly Stroll Through Waukon

This November and December bundle up and take a stroll through downtown Waukon while enjoying a heartwarming story! The Robey Memorial Library, in collaboration with The Oneota Valley Literary Foundation (OVLS), is hosting the Main Street Story Walk.

This year’s featured story is the beloved classic The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, a timeless tale of winter wonder and childhood adventures. Families are invited to follow the story as it unfolds in the windows of four local businesses. The Story Walk offers a perfect opportunity for families to enjoy some fresh air, read together, and explore downtown Waukon.

How It Works:
The Story Walk spans four participating businesses along West Main Street, with each stop displaying a portion of The Snowy Day. As you walk from one location to the next, you’ll be guided by the pages of the story, creating an interactive and enjoyable experience for all ages. The participating businesses are:

1.      Hello Sunshine

2.      Rockweilers Appliance & TV

3.      Hartig Drug

4.      Silver Laine Co.

When you’ve completed the walk, head over to the Robey Memorial Library, where you can show a photo of your family enjoying the Story Walk or provide the secret code word to receive a free book! It’s a great way to wrap up the adventure and bring home a new reading treasure for your personal library.

Whether you’re a local or visiting, the Main Street Story Walk is a fun way to enjoy the winter season and the fascination of storytelling in beautiful downtown Waukon.
