Library hosts holiday event for children, adults
The Butler Area Public Library got back into the holiday spirit Saturday by hosting activities for children and adults and a visit by some feathered friends during its first “Flannel Forest Fest.”
The library was bustling during the daylong festival as visitors voted for their favorite Christmas trees, played games, participated in a beard contest, and enjoyed live music, hot chocolate and popcorn.
“This is our first big public event since the pandemic started,” said Lori Hinderliter, executive director of the library.
Activities included a story walk through the courtyard, where 18 Christmas trees decorated by local organizations and businesses were on display. Visitors could vote for their favorite trees, and the winning organization won a prize. The trees will be displayed in the courtyard until Jan. 7.
