Join us for a Festival of Trees and Open House!

The Beardstown Houston Memorial Library is sponsoring a Festival of
Trees for the 2006 holiday season and civic organizations, businesses,
youth, school, church groups and individuals are invited to participate. The
theme for the festival will be "Hometown Holiday". No entry fee is being
charged, but donations to assist with program costs will be accepted.

The facility has space for 6 trees that are five feet tall, to be
displayed in the large windows on the west and north sides of the building.
Other entries cannot be taller than four feet and will be placed in the
library commons. Registration forms are available at the library and on the
library website www.beardstown.lib.il.us/library/.

Registrations must be received in the library by 7 p.m. on Monday, November 20. No phone registrations will be accepted. Trees must be decorated by Friday, December 1 and remain on display through the month of December unless other arrangements are made for early removal. Decorating activity may be conducted during library hours, but after-hours arrangements can be scheduled. Questions may be directed to the library staff at 323-4204.

The library is participating in Christmas in Beardstown on Saturday,
December 2 from 1 to 4 p.m. with an Open House for the Festival of Trees,
refreshments and children's holiday craft activity.
