On

2006,
the
Lancaster
Barnstormers
hosted "Strasburg
Night".
The
children
from
Sunshine
Corners
were
dressed
in
their
red,
white
and
blue
tie-dye
shirts
that
they
made
and
along
with
their
families
and
SC
staff,
they
sang
Take
Me
Out
to
the
Ballgame
before
the
game.
The
children
and
their
families
were
then
able
to
enjoy
the
game
and
the
other
facilities
at
Clipper

During
the
Week

2006,
Pennsylvania
launched
One
Book,
Every
Young
Child,
the
state’s
first-ever
collaborative
project
to
promote
the
development
of
early
literacy
skills
through
interactive
experiences
with
books
and
stories.
The
book
Inside
Mouse,
Outside
Mouse,
by
Lindsay
Barrett
George
was
selected
as
the
centerpiece
for
this
important
program.
Information
and
program
ideas
have
been
developed
by
librarians
and
museum
educators
from
across
Pennsylvania
to
promote
the
value
and
benefits
of
reading
early
and
often
to
preschoolers
and
to
encourage
family
bonding
through
books
and
reading.
Sunshine
Corners
chose
to
introduce
this
special
book
by
inviting
a guest
from
Representative
Gibson
Armstrong’s
Quarryville
office
to
read
to
the
children.
On
April
6th
Frances
Sears,
a legislative
aide
from

Corners,
a non-profit
childcare
center
located
in
Strasburg,
to
read
Inside
Mouse,
Outside
Mouse
to
children
ages

the
story
and
asked
