Family Fun for Everyone!

Read alouds, songs, crafts, ski patrol dog, and more!

Join us at the Incline Village Welcome Center to hear Joanna Howes and Megan Butcher read from their children’s books.
Enjoy fun activities and meet an Alpine Meadows ski patrol dog. Books will be available for purchase & signings by the authors.

Joanna Howes will read excerpts from Wild Sierra Nevada: A Family Nature Guide.
This highly visual, place-based natural history weaves together simple identification keys and whimsical insights to unlock a collection of Sierra Nevada natural wonders, clearly organized by trees, wildflowers, shrubs, mammals, and birds. Written for young children but with a depth of information and beautiful illustrations that will engage the whole family, this is the perfect companion for outdoor adventures.

Megan Butcher will read Ski Patrol Pups.
Inspired by a true story, join Walter on his first day at work as an Avalanche Search Dog in Lake Tahoe. The snow s falling and Walter can’t contain his excitement about starting his new job. He is not sure exactly what he will do at work, but he is eager to learn! Meeting new friends, riding chairlifts, and belly-sliding down the mountain. Walter’s first day at work is full of big adventures!
