CHECK IT OUT: Irish dancing, Pelican Pickers performance scheduled

The Crestview Public Library will be closed Monday, Feb. 17 for Presidents Day, but we'll return with plenty of free activities for all ages.

You'll want to get your dancing shoes ready for Feb. 25, when David and Anna Sandlin demonstrate Irish dancing and teach lessons from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the library, 1445 Commerce Drive, Crestview.  

For a toe-tappin’ good time, come see the Pelican Pickers perform from 10-11:30 a.m. March 29 at the library. They play 19th-century Appalachian, old-time and Gospel music on Appalachian Mountain lap dulcimers. Group members augment their sound with a banjo, mandolin, guitar, Irish penny whistles, fiddle, harmonica, Native American flute, recorder and silver flute.

We’d like to thank Cub Scout Pack 799, Webelos Den 11 and Wolf Den 4 and our Friends of the Library for providing refreshments.

Heather Nitzel is the Crestview Public Library's youth services librarian.
