SPCA Florida Kids' Day

Today starting at 10AM! Treat the children in your life to a very special book reading and signing with Lakeland native Chris Fox who recently published his first children’s book, “What Would You Do If You Found a Box?” Chris will be on hand to read the book, which was inspired by the two kittens he adopted from SPCA Florida in Lakeland and sign purchased copies. A percentage of the sales will benefit SPCA Florida’s homeless animals. Children are encouraged to bring their “injured” stuffed animals and SPCA Florida veterinarian will perform “Teddy Bear Surgery” at noon. There will also be pet-themed crafts and games for the children to enjoy. Don’t miss this unique opportunity!

When: Saturday, September 27 from 10 am to 1 pm

Where: SPCA Florida, 5850 Brannen Road South
