Dancing at the Festival

Remember what a good time you had last year?

Get ready for the 2014 Bakerville Holiday Festival.

Some favorite bits:

Bonfire, carol sing, and tree lighting behind the library.
Mrs. Claus, children's craft, and refreshments in the Annex (the old firehouse next door to the library). Hot cider, cold cider, hot chocolate, RADWICK’s coffee (thank you, RADWICK’S!), and cookies!

New this year:

The silent auction will also be in the Annex. No running back and forth between the buildings! No worrying about spilling cider on the books! All one big happy family!
We have not figured out the previewing of items this year, despite what it says on our flyer. If you happen to catch a Friend at the library to let you into the Annex, you may bid ahead of time. Otherwise, just come at 7 on Friday and write your name everywhere.

We have many really great items for our auction. Following is a selection from what we have received so far (items listed may be combined for actual auction offerings). This list will be updated as we go along, so check back often!
