The Dewey-Humboldt Town Library, 2735 S. Corral St., is inviting children ages 4 to 7 to a story and activity time presentation called "A Thanksgiving Squirrel Surprise" from 10 to 11:15 a.m. this Saturday.
This program will take place at the Kate Garber Activity Center next to the library.
Participants will get to sing songs and read stories about squirrels and play a "Pin the Tail on the Squirrel" game while looking for acorns.
Kids also can create their own nutty squirrel game and build a squirrel glider plane while snacking on Thanksgiving treats. Parents are invited.
Heidi Remakel, the library's story and activity time coordinator, will present the program.
Parents who want to register their children for the event should drop by the library or call the complex at 632-5049.
