Elf Walk Benefit: November 2nd event to help support the library

Izzie Worthen and Bev Meeker as Snowflake and Jingle Belle, who will be leading the Elf Walk

There is still time to pick up pledge sheets for the Elf Walk fundraiser hosted by the Old Forge Library on Wednesday, November 2, from 3 to 5 p.m.

All pledges must be submitted to the library prior to the walk.

Participants will join elves, Snowflake and Jingle Belle, and the Key Club Elves on a three-mile walk from the Old Forge Library to Thendara and back.

A shuttle back to the library will be available for anyone wishing to walk only to the half-way point in Thendara.

Participants will be treated to a pizza party at the library at 5 p.m. when prizes will be awarded to the families and individuals who raise the most money.

Twenty-five years ago, on November 18, 1988, a similar fundraising walk was hosted by the library.

“It was fun because I remember all of the people walking down to Thendara with carriages and strollers to raise money for the library. I hope to make this an annual event,” Worthen said.

More information is available by calling the library at (315) 369-6008.
