Brentwood Holds Fall Carnival

Betty Williams, NS Library Associate Senior, said, "Brentwood's Fall Carnival, October 20, attracted 70 participants who enjoyed balloon twisting by the Balloon Lady. 'Too cool' teens and some parents also waited in line to wear 'Curious George' and 'Hello Kitty' balloons on their head.  Brent the Library Bear asked participants to guess the number of pompoms in the plastic bear for a prize.  There was a pumpkin toss and some enjoyed tossing balls into pumpkin cutouts for points.  In the Gone Fishin’ game they used a pole to 'fish' for balls to get points, and in the ring toss, rings were thrown over various sized cylinders for points.  There was also a word scramble game using fall words. Prize bags were awarded to the highest scorers and the closest pompom count. 

"Friends of  the Brentwood Library manned some of the game stations and sponsored the hot dogs and drinks. Navy Federal Credit Union manned a game station and gave away frisbees, key chains, and glow necklaces. Staff popped popcorn, cooked hot dogs on the indoor grill, and went downstairs to work the public service desk. A special thank you to our Library Supervisor, Patricia Morrison, for those cute decorated prize bags and candy."
