Hey guys and gals, having trouble with holiday shopping? Come to the Conrad Public Library on Dec. 7 for a “homemade Christmas.” A hearty lunch starts at 11 a.m. and goes until 2 p.m. Chili, sandwich wraps and wonderful homemade pies will be served to satisfy every appetite. You may pay one fee for the entire lunch or each item can be chosen and paid for individually. Lovely holiday items will be for sale and you can bid for them at the silent auction. The Friends of the Library have bags of fancy poppycock for gift giving. Come early and stay late, or the ”Friends” can be your personal shopper to insure your favorite gift gets bought for Christmas giving. An early 1930s antique quilt will be raffled and the winner chosen during National Library Week. Tickets go on sale for this gorgeous, all hand stitched quilt at the luncheon. This is one quilt you surely want to win! The must-see 12-foot Christmas tree is on display upstairs. It is trimmed with darling decorations made by the area school children. Guitar and piano music will entertain you while you eat and shop at the “Library Homespun Christmas.” The proceeds generated from this event will help fund the children’s programs at the library.
