Library sets teddy bear hunt

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

We’re going on a bear hunt! In addition to the bear hunt, we will read some stories and treat our bears to a Teddy Bear Tea.

The hunt starts at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 26 at the library, 1445 Commerce Drive, Crestview. Registration is recommended as eight spots were left as of Jan. 19. Call 682-4432 or come in to register.

To participate, someone in the registered party must be ages 3 to 14. Attendees may wear modest pajamas, and bring a teddy bear, flashlight and six cookies to share. It would help if the cookies are individually wrapped.

The hunt will end about 7:15 p.m. Thanks to the Friends of the Crestview Library for helping to make this Family Library Time free for attendees.
