Our puppet creators

Tyler & his grandmother













Tiffany and her puppet looked quite a bit alike!









Cora is a very fashionable pirate.

Arr, it's Captn Shush!

I have received a number of wonderful photos from the parade which I will be posting over the next few days. This is one of my favorites, taken by Jennifer Molin's daughter.

Scenes from Our Book & Bake Sale

Thank you so much to all volunteers, book donors, bakers, and buyers who made our book & bake sale so very, very successful! We set a new record this year: $1100 was made from book & popcorn sales over two days and close to $500 was earned with the bake sale. The painting raffle netted $286.


The table was laden with goodies.














Meghan helped sell raffle tix.











The rain forced us to set up the book and bake sale completely in the barn, but that turned out ok... especially for kids who like puddles.














We found homes for many, many great books.

Raffle winner

The raffle for Peg Scully's watercolor netted $286. The drawing was Friday, August 4th. Peg herself drew the winning ticket: Margery Conrey won the painting. I called her and she came immediately to pick up her prize. Congrats, Margery!

We're Number One! We're Number One!

The pirate puppets that Tyler, Tiffany and Cora made turned out so great! The parade judges thought so too - The Freedom Public Library won a first place trophy! Thanks so much to Paul Mathieu for leading the puppet workshop and to Heidi Glavin who made the gorgeous professional-looking banner and who also helped with the workshop. What would the library do without great volunteers like them?? This is a question I ask myself daily. Thank you!
