The Friends of the Big Valley Library and the Big Valley Municipal Library Board are thrilled with the results of their first ever rummage sale this past Saturday, Oct.16.
Community support was truly amazing with donations pouring in all day Friday, filling the Legion Hall to the brim. Shoppers came in steadily throughout the day, with many making numerous trips to discover hidden treasures.
We must take this opportunity to thank everyone in this great community for their amazing support. With too many individuals to mention by name, we would like to thank everyone who donated items for the sale; all the people who helped to haul things into the Legion Hall; everyone who helped to sort through and display the piles of donations, and of course all the shoppers, and thanks for all the hard work put in to planning, hosting and cleaning-up.
The day was a tremendous amount of fun, with community members visiting and shopping while contributing to our library. It is so wonderful to see our youngsters like Abby Webster and Katherine Stillinger already participating in community service.
