Rootle Roadster Tour Makes Stop at Museum of the Albemarle!

By Lori Meads, Education Curator

The Museum of the Albemarle is looking forward to the North Carolina Potato Festival weekend when PBS North Carolina’s Rootle Roadster Tour will make a stop in Elizabeth City. The tour will open on Friday, May 19, from 4–7 p.m., focusing on families with exceptional children. On Saturday, May 20, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, May 21, 10 a.m.–1 p.m., the tour will be open for all families to enjoy all that it has to offer while visiting downtown Elizabeth City.

The Rootle Roadster Tour provides families with young children, birth to age eight, with free playful learning experiences, PBS KIDS education resources, and demonstrations by community partners. The activities and takeaways are aligned with literacy, physical, sensory, social-emotional, and STEM curricula. This is a free family event.

The tour is made possible through the Preschool Development Grant B-5 from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and PBS North Carolina.

Albemarle Alliance for Children and Families and other community partners will be present, providing information on local resources.

Rootle Roadster Tour, NC Department of Health and Human Services, Albemarle Alliance for Children and Families, and the Museum of the Albemarle are planning for everyone that attends, rain or shine, to have a Rootle-Rif-Fic Time while learning and discovering what the community has to offer for young children, birth to age eight.
