We are excited to have Kaylee Stavlas, aka Miss Teen USA at our festival this year!

Kaylee will be hosting a booth at this year's Greek Festival to promote her book, entitled "You Can Change the World".

This book is about "an eight-year-old girl who is forever changed after watching a video of children in Haiti eating mud to ease their hunger.

Moved by compassion, she wonders how she can help. Determined to make a difference, the young girl starts a cookie business to raise money for the children, holding onto the belief that one person can change the world.

Through months of hard work, she earns over $1,000—enough to provide food, clean water, education, and support for a teacher in Haiti. This character's journey highlights the power of empathy, resilience, and taking action."

We look forward to having Kaylee at our festival to promote such a heartwarming and inspirational story, and we hope to see you all join us in our festivities!

Tickets can be purchased at raleighgreekfestival.com. We'll see you there!
