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.
