The Haysville Times
By Angie Gumm
The Haysville Fall Festival just keeps growing. This year, the newly organized Haysville Community Library Foundation is hosting a Fall Festival Walk after the parade.
For $10, walkers will get a Haysville Library rubber wristband, and they will get a goody bag full of treats from local businesses, as well as a free book and book marks.
“We’ll be geared up for a couple hundred people,” said George Snider, of the Foundation, who said the group is not sure how many to expect in the walk’s first year. “We’re extending a welcome to anyone who comes to the festival.”
Besides the obvious health benefits, walkers will feel good that they’re helping the library. The foundation bought the carpet, paint and curtains for the children’s room in the library, and so far, they have spent $3,000 on books for young adults. They also seek donations and grants to make the library a better place and provide more services to the community.
Besides the $10, walkers need to have a Fall Festival button, which can be purchased at banks and convenience stores around the city or at the Fall Festival. Registration starts Saturday, October 15, at 10 a.m. at the library. For more information call George Snider at 524-0809.
