The CNY Arts Center generously created two sets of 3-feet tall wooden letters built by Oswego County BOCES students that spell ‘R-E-A-D’ and will be on display at the event. Each letter is brightly painted with messages and symbols about the joys of reading. The letters were designed and painted by artist Ken Blount.
