10th Birthday Party for Red Jacket Community Library

Red Jacket Community Library 10th Birthday Party was celebrated December 6th from 1PM—3PM. Approximately 150 people attended including Senator Mike Nozzolio and Assemblyman Brian Kolb. This was also a party for all of the public libraries in Ontario County, since all 12 of the libraries now belong to the online shared catalog known as OWWL (www.owwl.org).

First, we were entertained by the Red Jacket Madrigals singing group. We held a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, a variety of Free Raffles were drawn and we served from 10 birthday cakes made especially for the library by Sunshine Bakery in Shortsville.

Chistmas Cookie Contest

We held our first Community-wide Christmas Cookie contest tonight at the Library. Cookies were officially judged by the owner of the Sunshine Bakery in Shortsville. The public also was able to sample cookies and vote for a “popular vote” prize.
The winner of the contest, Macie King, age 13, of Shortsville, actually won both prizes for her Chocolate Chip cookie with walnuts. Macie is pictured here with owners of the Sunshine Bakery and the Library Director.
We plan to have this become an annual December event.

TRICK OR TREAT!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins

Perfect little pumpkins were painted here at Red Jacket Community Library on October 22, 2008. Pumpkins were donated courtesy of Fresh Ayr Farms. Even the adults enjoyed themselves.
