Teenagers will get to try their hands at songwriting as part of a workshop hosted by Shaun Verrault from the band Wide Mouth Mason, or check out the new PoCoMo Youth Services Bus.
More than 20 local organizations will participate in the Adult Literacy Tradeshow throughout the day, while children's entertainers Bobs and LoLo will perform at 5 and 6: 30 p.m.
