The 2022 Read Ready Covington Early Childhood Fun Fest is set to take place on Friday, June 20, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the David Housley Pavilion in Randolph Park, located at Prospect Avenue and E. 10th Street.

The MLA includes a Match Board, Making Choices Disc Run, Costume Wall, and a Passport Book for families. Additionally, families can participate in the Funshine-hosted Box Play activity, allowing children to build, knock over, and redesign cardboard boxes.
The James E. Biggs Early Childhood Center will host the Keep the Beat activity, where children can make music with pots, pans, utensils, and drumsticks. The Fun Fest is aimed at helping Covington children get a strong start in their school careers.
Director Mary Kay Connolly mentioned that the event was moved to offer developmentally appropriate activities and better prepare children for the school year. To ensure a smooth experience for all, free Family Guides provided by the Kentucky Department of Education will be available, while supplies last.
