What better way to get kids interested and excited about reading than through comic books? The Koch Family Children’s Museum of Evansville (cMoe) will host the Kids’ Comic Con on Saturday, July 23rd.

This comic event, will not only improve literacy development and literacy skills in children, but will also create a love of language and books. We want kids to view reading as an interactive, family activity, which everyone can enjoy.

There will be performances that feature live, exotic wildlife from all over the world. The audience will have the chance to interact with the animals through “hands-on” volunteering, question & answer and crowd participation activities. All are guaranteed an up-close and personal experience.
