Public library Fall Festival coming up later this month

The Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library is hosting a fall festival on October 28 in partnership with the Christian County Public Schools Kindergarten Readiness Initiative.

It will take place at the public library from 4:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. that day and Executive Director DeAnna Sova says it will take place rain or shine, as they can easily move everything inside if need be.

The event is free to attend and will include crafts, games, bouncers and a costume contest. The Imagination Library will also host a pumpkin carving fundraising event on the same day.

Teachers from CCPS Elementary Schools will be present to meet current and incoming students and will help get them excited for learning and early literacy.

Sova says they will then have something for an older crowd on November 5 with a murder mystery event called “Murder at The Library”, where guests will work together to solve a fake murder with clues that are provided throughout the course of the evening, with a prize given to the guests that solve the crime.

Space for the event is limited and a registration fee of $25 per attendee is required. Register for the event by going online to the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library website.
