This Saturday night, residents are invited to celebrate the library and its value to the community at Evening at the Library.
Acting director at the Drumheller Library Debbie LaPlante says it has been a few years since they have hosted the fundraiser.
“It has been about five years,” said LaPlante. “The people putting it on are the Drumheller Library Society, our fundraising arm.”
(l-r ) Acting library director Debbie LaPlante, Linda Traquair board chair of the Drumheller Library Society and Margaret Nielsen secretary of the Drumheller Library Society shows off some of the great silent auction items they have collected for an Evening at the Library this Saturday.
The evening includes appetizers and entrainment. Local musicians will be performing throughout the event. It is from 7- 9:30 p.m. at the Drumheller Public Library.
The Library will be closed on Saturday at noon to prepare for the evening of fun.
The proceeds go to supporting the operation of the Library.
The evening also includes a live and silent auction. LaPlante says many area residents and businesses have been generous in supporting the auction.
There is a great variety of items to be auctioned; from art to sporting goods. There are some interesting experiential gifts on the block.
“We have some quite different items actually, some quite interesting items,” said LaPlante. “One example is a cooking lesson from a chef, or golf packages.”
Tickets are available but are in limited number as the event approaches. For more information, or to purchase tickets, call 403-823-1371, 403-823-8460, or 403-823-4706.
