South Marion Citizen - Freedom Public Library - October 28, 2011

By Carol Jones


Come celebrate Terrific Tuesdays!

Sponsored by the Friends of Freedom Public Library, Terrific Tuesdays are happening every Tuesday afternoon in November. Join us for terrific events from 2 to 5 p.m.

Nov. 1
Quilters Group - These talented ladies do more than quilting. Their various crafts include flip-flop decorating, coaster creations, counted cross stitch and Brazilian embroidery, knitting, and of course their specialty, chicken scratch quilting. Take a walk around the tables while they're working in the library meeting room and see who is doing what. At least eight members of the Quilters Group will be on hand from 2 to 3 p.m. Questions are welcome.

The Quilters gather regularly on Wednesdays at 10 a.m. in the library meeting room. Anyone involved in handcrafts is welcome to join them.

Grannie Annie, aka Anne Stumpf, is setting up her spinning wheel for a live demonstration of its use. She will also tell a story for the youngsters at 2 p.m. for about half an hour. Adults, please be present with your children.

Nov. 8
The Ocala Barnstormers and Flying Models Club have an exhibit planned in the meeting room. And, weather permitting, they will conduct a radio controlled outdoor demonstration on the library lawn.

Nov. 15
Freedom Writers Group presents Florida history storyteller Kathy Dobronyi at 2:30 p.m. Six authors will talk about their books during the afternoon, a progressive story or two stand ready for creative thinkers to add a paragraph, and door prizes will be awarded throughout the afternoon.

Nov. 22
Art Club of Oak Run - These wonderful artists have a display planned that you won't want to miss.

Nov. 29
Ocala Model Railroaders share the room with the International Plastic Modelers Society for the final-event exhibit that's sure to be enjoyed by everyone. One more thing, bring the kids for some clown-style face painting, fun and laughter.

Mark your calendars for all exhibits so you don't miss any of it. See you there!
