Blue Ridge Summit Free Library Annual Yuletide Celebration
The Blue Ridge Summit Free Library will hold its annual Yuletide Celebration from 4 to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, on the library grounds. Admission is free and all are welcome.
Activities during the family-friendly event include fire truck rides by the Blue Ridge Summit Volunteer Fire Company; an appearance by Santa, who will hand out candy canes; and a children’s craft to create a bird feeder to take home.
“In addition, we’ll have live music by Rich Fehle, and holiday goodies including cookies and hot or cold cider,” said Mary Anne Stanley, president of the library’s board.
The library will be open during the event and decorated for Christmas.
“A special highlight is a tree decorated with Brandywine Critters ornaments, created by Blue Ridge Summit resident, the late Roberta (Bert) Domenick,” Stanley said. “Mrs. Domenick helped begin the ‘Critters Workshop’ program at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, Pa., and the whimsical ornaments are still a big attraction at that museum.”
Brandywine Critter ornaments are made of natural materials such as seeds, pods, grasses and leaves. Some of them have been displayed on a Christmas tree in the White House. The ornaments featured on the library’s tree are from Domenick’s personal collection.
There will be a memorial tree lighting at 6:30pm in memory of Steve Burdette, artist, teacher, pastor and all long-time supporter of the library.
Just in time for the holidays, the Blue Ridge Summit Stitchers will draw the winner for their annual quilt raffle.
Parking is available in the plaza lot across from the library, off Monterey Lane and in other adjacent lots. For more information, email to: brsmtnboard@gmail.com.
