LL Bean has generously donated six pairs of snowshoes to our ever-gowning Library of Things. When flurries fly, come and check out a pair to enjoy the outdoors. We have two children, two youth, and two adult pairs to lend!
Our Holiday Tea was a great success with 63 attendees enjoying some winter refreshment on the patio.
