The Last Stomp & Paleontologist Training Final Night

August 31 @ 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

The image shows a bright, playful banner with the words “UNEARTH A STORY™” in large, bold letters — “UNEARTH” in blue and “A STORY” in pink. On the left, a green dinosaur lounges on the grass beside a stack of books, while on the right, a purple pterodactyl perched on a branch reads an open book amid tropical plants and palm trees, creating a fun, prehistoric reading theme.

TURN IN READING LOG FOR YOUR REWARD

The image shows a plush toy shaped like a triceratops dinosaur. The toy is bright blue with lighter blue and gray accents, three white horns, and a shiny golden eye. It’s displayed on a red table surrounded by children’s books, including one with the visible title “Dinosaurs.” The setting suggests a playful, educational library or reading area with a dinosaur theme.
