This past Saturday, the Palmetto Marriott proudly hosted Grandpa Joe Day, an educational carnival designed to ignite curiosity and creativity in children throughout the community. The event brought families together for a day filled with interactive activities, live performances, and inspiring storytelling. One of the many highlights of the day was a dynamic performance by Corey Thornton, who captivated the audience with his high-energy show. Attendees were also treated to a special live reading and book signing by acclaimed author Bill Shea, who shared his heartwarming book, A Grandpa Joe Day. “This book is about celebrating the simple, beautiful moments shared between generations,” said Bill Shea. “Seeing children connect with the story in such a lively setting was truly special. Grandpa Joe reminds us all that love, laughter, and learning are the greatest gifts we can pass on.”
