Special Events
Next Child Fest:
April 29, 2023
Child Fest brings together our two favorite things— fun activities for the young (and young at heart!) with lots of valuable information about services that are available locally for parents and caregivers of young children.
BLOCK Fest
The Blue Ridge Partnership for Children hosts BLOCK Fest® events in Avery, Mitchell and Yancey Counties every year. BLOCK Fest is a research-based, interactive exhibit that promotes early math and science learning for young children through block play.
Next Block Fest:
March
St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Burnsville
AMY Wee Trade
AMY Wee Trade is a semi-annual children’s consignment sale supporting our Imagination Library literacy program. We like to think of AMY Wee Trade as a win, win, win: consignors sell items to make money for their family budgets, shoppers get great deals on kids’ clothes and toys, and the Partnership raises valuable funds to distribute FREE books to children in our community.
