It’s Valentine’s Day-- Party Your Way

Tuesday February 14th @ 3:15pm
Barth Community Room

Middle school and high school students grades 6-12 are invited to come to Crowell Public Library’s Valentine’s Day Party Your Way to celebrate their way. The party takes place on Tuesday, February 14th at 3:15pm in the Barth Community Room.

There will be something for everyone: for those that love Valentine’s Day, come to make gorgeous decoupage gift boxes, Hershey kiss bouquets, and decorate sugar cookies for your friends—or your sweetheart! Is Valentine’s Day too saccharine sweet and commercialized for you? Be creative—add a cynical twist to your gift boxes, make black Hershey kiss bouquets, and decorate sugar cookies (and eat, and roll your eyes at the sweetness)!

Love (or wisecracks!) will fill the air in the Barth Community room on February 14th. The festivities begin at 3:15pm. Registration is not required. Don’t miss out! This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Crowell Public Library. Find out about this and other upcoming teen events at Tinyurl.com/YAFacebook-CPL.
