HISTORY golf ball and view from library interior balcony

Our first Mini Golf event (April 2016) was a big success: people of all ages enjoyed playing 18 holes of miniature golf inside the library, and the event raised over $6K. This wonderful community event has now become an Annual event. See Sandy Ward's PHOTO albums for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2024 and 2025.
