The trail is located behind Luttrell Elementary School/Luttrell Library and can take readers on a magical walking journey using books.
For many children, Vacation Bible School is a summer staple. The Bible stories and learning activities, crafts and songs allow youth to better understand biblical truths as well as continue some type of schedule outside of the school year.
