Pumpkin Painting Event Held October 19, 2013

After missing a year, the Friends of the Howard Lake Library’s pumpkin event was back and better than ever. Thanks to the Untiedt Vegetable Farm, the pumpkins were amazing and a perfect palette for the young artists.  Cookies, Kool Aid and a treat bag to take home topped off the morning.  The Howard Lake Royalty was on hand to paint pumpkins and visit with the painters.  See you again in October 2014.

 

End of Summer Reading Program Party

The enthusiasm was high for the old-fashioned celebration. Featuring sack races, pin the shovel on the garden, drop the clothespins, bean bag toss, hopscotch and cookies and Kool Aid, the summer readers and their families enjoyed the evening. Highlight was the announcement by Friends of the Library President Judy Forst of the 2013 Grand Prize winners.  Three of the winners were present to receive their prizes and a big round of applause from the crowd.

Our sincere thanks to the Howard Lake Royalty for attending and lending us a hand.

See you next June for the 2014 program and keep reading!
