Whirlwind days

I spent most of last week at the library setting up Light Up the Library.  I noticed that almost everyone coming in has the sniffles and heard that COVID is going around.  This calls for an additional dose of "Airborn" each day.  So far, so good.  The busyness continues this week with some great programs to entice folks to buy raffle tickets.

Saturday, Melissa from Thunder Road Speedway put up a tree with a host of swag from "The Nation's Site of Excitement" (really only Central Vermont's site, but they like it).  I was pleased that Melissa took a picture to add to her social media as a way to promote the Friends of the Library program.  There are 15 gift card copies pinned to the tree so we will raffle off the tree and also draw 14 more winners two weeks from today.

Other trees include a pink one with flamingos and disco balls, The Nightmare Before Christmas, figure skating, hand painted ornaments by the artists' guild, and more.  Then there are the gifts and gift certificates - something for everyone.

This afternoon Donna "Thunder" and her band will play for the grand opening, and Wed. another local musician will entertain us on the piano with a holiday sing-along.  The weekend is taken up with three performances of my friend Alan's version of A Christmas Carol.  He never turns any volunteer away, so now there are 47 people of all ages involved.  

Hoping for driveable weather all week!  We are at the point in the year when we wake up to a little bit of snow every morning,  But there is a storm predicted for late Tuesday, but I hope that, in true Vermont fashion, the roads will be clear by mid-morning.
