Medieval Faire
Sat. Aug. 21, 12-4pm
The library invites you to its first ever Medieval Faire! We're working with the Society for Creative Anachronism as well as local enthusiasts and artists to recreate life in the Middle Ages for an afternoon. Games for kids and adults alike, demonstrations of spinning and pottery, reenactments, refreshments, library staff in costume -- don't miss this great program!
The Faire will be held outdoors in the field right next to the library, rain or shine. Special thanks to our donors Worth Repeating and The Friends of the Library, and our many wonderful volunteers, who make this event possible!

We're thrilled to be hosting these two groups, and look forward to their demonstrations of skills and arts from the Middle Ages.

The Library will be closed Sat. Sept. 4 through Mon. Sept. 6 for Labor Day Weekend.
