The businesses at Nassau Commons are partnering with several organizations for a block party Saturday, June 26, to benefit Read Aloud Delaware.
Nassau Commons is located on Nassau Commons Boulevard between Route 1 and Route 9 and across from Nassau Valley Vineyards.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Block Party will feature food and drink, live music from members of the Funsters, activities for children, registration door prizes, exhibits and demonstrations. The registration booth and many activities will be centered in front of Atlantic Millwork and Cabinetry. Surrounding the registration area will be exhibitors from Read Aloud Delaware, Lewes Public Library, Lewes Volunteer Fire Department, Coastal Concerts, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer and the Food Bank of Delaware.
Those attending are encouraged to bring new or gently used children’s books for Read Aloud Delaware, an organization that coordinates volunteers who read books to children one-on-one to help them build their reading skills.
