STETTLER PUBLIC LIBRARY -- Have you bought your tickets for Beyond the Bling? Better get them soon, because it's going to be a great time. It's an evening of Hawaiian fun at the library with food, cocktails, local beer tasting, a 50-50 draw and more. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome (yes, that includes the guys). Advance tickets are available including for families, (that just means two tickets purchased together, so spouses, friends, cousins, etc. are all fine). We also have some great prizes courtesy of generous businesses in town and so much more. There will be lots to do as well: you can answer competitive trivia questions, challenge someone to a game of 21; play video games; take pictures in our photo booth; and other activities. Come and have a fun night out and support the Stettler Public Library.
