Mini Golf fun and photos

We thank photographer Steven Nanton of The Republican/MassLive for capturing excellent photos of people enjoying Mini Golf  in the Library on April 6; see his 35 photos on MassLive.

What a wonderful day that was!  We registered over 350 players during the daytime hours, and had additional players during the evening cocktail party.  Last year 233 had registered; we are delighted by the larger turnout this year.

The library was buzzing with activity all day.  Emma Rose Huse of Mask Makers Face Painting was busy from 11am-3:30pm decorating young faces.

Hole sponsors brought creative props, "obstacles" and decorations to add along the course. Holyoke Codes created elaborate structures with robotic animations for Holes 17 and 18.  See Sandy Ward's PHOTO ALBUM. 

Thanks to advance sponsorships by local companies and agencies, this community event does not cost the library anything. In fact, the Holyoke Public Library gained about $5000 in proceeds above the expenses of equipment and publicity.   We are thankful too for the VOLUNTEERS who staff the event. Without all this support, it would not be possible.
