Grover visited with the children, posed for pictures, gave high-fives and gave lots of hugs, according to Penny Bayer, preschool director.
St. Paul Preschool was selected for the special guest visit based on its years of continuous support for Sesame Street Live over the last 12 years. In that time, over 400 St. Paul preschoolers and their families have seen the show, according to the release.
"I was so excited for the opportunity to share this with some of our children,” said Bayer. “It was nice to have a big star like Grover here at Preschool.”
