FOL Fudge Fundraiser

We are excited that the Friends of the Library are selling Walnut Grove Mercantile fudge again this year. They make wonderful old-fashioned, delicious fresh fudge with real cream and butter.
You can order for yourself and indulge in the multiple delectable flavors they offer, or they make great gifts for friends and family. Also, you can freeze this fudge!
Stop in the library and place an order before November 21st. Delivery of the fudge will be here around December 6th. 50% of the money will go the library. Thank you for supporting the library.
