Jump back into the past, to the first Thanksgiving of 1565 in St. Augustine in Spanish La Florida, and travel through time to the present day of this special Holiday. Bob Cottrell will go into details of how we get food from the farm onto the table. This is a holiday in which we can enjoy a couple of days off work and focus on food, parade, friends, and family. It has a much less commercial nature to it than many other holidays.
Costumes are great for themed events or to enhance imagination and play all year long. Bring your outgrown or no longer used costumes and choose others to keep! Costumes will only be accepted if they are clean and in good condition, and may be brought in any day leading up to the event. Available following story time and throughout the day until 4 PM. Please see Tessa or Kate in the children's room for more information.
Can you believe it? David McPhail is coming to Conway! He will talk about his life and work as well as give a drawing demonstration, all in celebration of his new book, Truffle, which will be available for purchase and signing, with help from White Birch Books in North Conway. Don't miss this rare opportunity to meet a very accomplished children's book creator up close and personal! http://davidmcphailillustrations.com/index.html
