Durham Bulls Education Day 2015!

I've been hinting at something for a while over on the Pumpernickel Art Facebook page. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out-www.facebook.com/pumpernickelart

I can't tell you what it is, but I CAN tell you the first place you'll see it.

NEXT TUESDAY, April 21st, I'll be at Durham Bulls Education Day!!! That's right, it's time to step up to the plate for literacy at America's most famous minor league ballpark with FREE Burlwood Forest bookmarks, an AMAZING prize pack and a wacky game where YOU get to help me write a short story! Hashtag Awesome. Oh wait, ‪#‎Awesome‬

Education Day 2 is TOMORROW! (5/7)

Tomorrow is Education Day 2 at the Durham Bulls and Pumpernickel Art will be there! That's right, FREE stickers, FREE bookmarks and LOTS of other cool stuff that we should probably figure out.

Not that we want to encourage you to skip work or anything, but if you happen to accidentally find yourself at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park for three hours tomorrow, make sure you get there at 11:05am. ‪#‎thebreadisback‬

Pumpernickel Art has a NEW OFFICE!

I've been gone a few days, but don't worry...there's some pretty BIG stuff going on. Kind of like my NEW Pumpernickel Art office! You can see pictures of it at www.facebook.com/pumpernickelart. Cool, right?

That's not all though. Get stoked for the release of the Durham Bulls Education Day Short Story (FINALLY), plus some REALLY exciting announcements for teachers by the end of next week.

It's all SO awesome it's overwhelming. I'll just have to take a break...in my NEW office!

Check out YOUR Durham Bulls Education Day Fan-Created Story!

We tried something a little different at this year's Durham Bulls Education Day, and we're pretty stoked with how it turned out.

If you came to our table, you know that you had the opportunity to make a sentence with our super cool magnet board. Now, we're ready to reveal what you came up with when we put those sentences together!

Head to www.facebook.com/pumpernickelart this afternoon for a short poem using ACTUAL sentences from REAL fans! This is YOUR story!
