Parents & caregivers: would like your youngsters to be able to paint a pumpkin but do you not want to deal with the mess involved? Let the Friends give you a helping hand. On Saturday October 25th, for only $3 ($10 maximum per family), your child will get to choose her/his pumpkin, decorate it with paints provided, then enjoy Kool-Aid & cookies while the paint dries. There are 2 sessions: 9 AM and 10 AM. Preregistration is suggested, but not required. Call the library at 320.543.2020 or stop in to sign up.

This event is held in the Howard Lake Community Room (above the Howard Lake Library). Older painting clothes are suggested. Family and friends are invited to watch the artists at work.
