Saturday's event will take place at Hall of Scoops' shop in Chappaqua at 14 South Greeley Ave. from 2 - 4 p.m. The free activities will include air-brushed tattoos and balloon-twisting provided by Kiwi Country Day Camp, a book reading by Biscuit series author Alyssa Capucilli and illustrator Pat Schories, and an appearance by Biscuit for hugs and photos.
