2nd Annual Festival of Trees
|
|
|
The Peace River Municipal Library will be hosting its 2nd annual Festival of Trees from November 18th to 23rd. You will find it very similar to last year with a few tweaks as we work out the kinks. We are still very new at this so we appreciate any feedback!
We have added a new category for the silent auction - Mini Trees! Full size trees, youth entries, and non-tree items, are still welcome of course. We are looking forward to seeing everyone's creative endeavours.
The theme this year is "A Few of My Favourite Things". Geek out and show us what makes you smile - a cool hobby, a favourite book or game, or funky fandom! Registration forms are available at the library, on our website or right here : |
