Milwaukee kids are getting an exciting reason to hit the books this winter.
Monster Jam, the high-energy, family-friendly motorsports event, is partnering with local libraries across Wisconsin to inspire a love for reading among kids.
And there’s a reward: children who read five books or more will earn one free ticket to the upcoming Monster Jam show at Fiserv Forum in January (with the purchase of one adult ticket).
Here’s how families can join in on the action:
Step 1: Visit a Participating Library
Head to a participating library and pick up a Monster Jam Reward Club Card, which outlines all the details. Once your child completes five books, their club card will be their ticket to a Monster Jam adventure!
