Now that the kids are out of school, you may find yourself looking for ways to fill up their days. The Cornelia City Park Story Trail is one stop you might want to make.

The story trail opened last August and has a new story to tell. The new featured book is “Mama Bird Papa Bird: Obey Right Away.”

This second installment of the Mama Bird Papa Bird series follows Baby Bird on an adventure where he learns a valuable lesson. The book is written by local author Wanda Obermeier. As you walk the trail, you can stop at the different stations to read a page from the book so that, by the end of your walk, you’ve read the book.

Pebble Ministry, based in Habersham, spearheaded the project. Founder Troyce Simmons said when it opened, it was the only one in Northeast Georgia outside of Hall County. Similar trails exist in other parts of the state.

The purpose of the story trail is to foster a sense of fun and community as people walk and read together.

Pebble Ministry’s Chief Financial Officer, Christine Simmons, encourages users to share feedback. There’s a QR code at the end of the trail you can scan to do that.
