Library Friends hosting open house Sunday at tree festival
Comments 0 | Recommend 0The Friends of the Putnam County District will host a Christmas Tree Festival Open House this Sunday, Dec. 4, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at their Ottawa location. The event will feature Donna Lora on harp and hammered dulcimer.
The Christmas Tree Festival at the Putnam County District Library will be returning this year for the holiday season following a four year absence. The festival was started in 1988. The year of the flood 2007 would have been the 20th festival. Unfortunately this 20th celebration had to be put off for five years while library officials researched what to do with the former library on Pratt Street that had been heavily damaged in the August 2007 flood.
The decision was made to build a new library on Putnam Parkway in Ottawa. The new library opened this year.
Members of the Putnam County Friends of the Library are happy they can finally hold the 20th festival in the new library facilities this year.
