Then boxes will be traded with another city. We will then have a summer program in Y.S to tell stories selected from our "Visiting Story Box"
Then all Story Boxes will be sent to cities in N. Ireland and their Story Boxes will travel to the US. One will come to YS and we will have a program to perform those stories.
