RED LION, PA – Miss Pennsylvania’s Teen Lizzie Shacklett will visit Kaltreider-Benfer Library in Red Lion on Saturday, April 20. She will be there from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. to present a special story time for children and families. During the event, Shacklett will share her experience as Miss Pennsylvania’s Teen, read the book she authored, “I Read Before Bed” and lead children in a bookmark craft.
