2026 Community Night Out
Community Night Out.
I thank many every year after CNO and it never seems adequate. I’m thanking all of you again and I hope that my appreciation will find its way to you by giving more to your library in the best and most efficient way I know how.
Every year I delight in seeing so many people coming together to enjoy each others company while tapping their foot along to live music, some singing along, while catching up on the days and weeks events. All this AND eating a meal they didn’t have to cook .
The kids had plenty of fun outside playing laser tag with our county librarian, Jason Frank, as well as trying their hands at throwing big styrofoam airplanes up in the air. One plane decided to come in for a landing permanently on the roof. Although, I’m sure it will take flight once again when the next big wind comes our way. Christy Puetz, with all her cool crafts, had a table full of busy kids making awesome beaded jewelry.
This extraordinary night would not have been possible without the Graceville Friends of the Library. They are a such a powerful force behind the library. Myself, as well as Jason Frank, are grateful to have them. BIG thank you to the members of the Friends that worked very hard last night and prepping for months.
I would also like to thank Tri County Coop, Ag Country, ADA, Thrivent, Main Street Market, Bonnie’s Grocery, and Dennis Foley for their support to making CNO even better. If there is anyone I missed, thank you and I apologize.
Thanks to everyone that came and I hope you enjoyed your evening!
