Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Theresa Trawick, director of the Tupper Lightfoot Memorial Library in Brundidge, said that there is a real treat planned for Dec. 5, when the City of Brundidge welcomes the Christmas season with a downtown parade and the lighting of the city’s Christmas Tree.

Trawick said the Christmas parade will feature Santa Claus, and the word is that several of the Library Elves will be helping Santa welcome the children. And, perhaps, the Library  Elves will share with the Jolly Ol’ Eft just how good each of them has been all year long.

Trawick said before the parade and the coming of  Santa, on November 16, the Brundidge Main Street businesses will stay open after hours with opportunities to enter drawings and win door prizes.

As a reminder and encouragement to read-on during the holiday season, Trawick said the Tupper Lightfoot Memorial Library has a large selection of Thanksgiving and Christmas books for children through adults.

Nighttime comes early in the fall and winter months and what better way to spend time than in a cozy chair with a good book, the Library Elves said.

Also on Dec. 2, Tupper Lightfoot Memorial Library will be hosting a special Christmas at Candyland event from 10 until 11:30 a.m. The event will feature crafts, snacks, activities and more.
