“It was fun,” said
fourth-grader Laken McKay.
“We got to do a lot of things
– drumming and dancing –
and we got to meet someone
new.”
“I like the drumming and
learning the hand positions
– tone, slap, slam and bass,”
said third-grader Zach Mont-
wheeler.
Alseny and his family are
from Guinea, West Africa,
and he is a member of the
Susu tribe.
The family teach and per-

and student and community
fundraising efforts made the
presentation possible with
Sue Thompson, who teaches
grades 4-5, making arrange-
ments.
“The students enjoyed all
of it,” Thompson said.
Prairie City School elementary students enjoyed an interactive concert from
visiting drummers last week.

PARTY
Continued from Page A1
The event featured a cake-
walk for adults through the
stacks, and a cupcake-cookie
walk for the children in the
children’s area. The upbeat
music of The Four Seasons
had the participants dancing
in the aisles.
The centerpiece of the
event was an auction of at
least two dozen pies and
cakes, home-baked by library
supporters from across the
county. Hal Smith, the auc-
tioneer, pumped up the crowd
for lively bidding that brought
anywhere from $20 to $100
an item. The most unusual
confection was a cake shaped
like a LEGO brick with Oreos
for the knobs, and completely
iced with green fondant.
Volunteers from the coun-
ty’s library advisory board
DQGWKHQRQSUR¿W*UDQW&RXQ-
ty Library Foundation helped
the staff prepare for the event,
and serve a chili and corn-
bread lunch.
Librarian Vicki Waters
said the event raised more
than $1,500, and the proceeds
will pay for printers and other
equipment needed for upgrad-
ed computers.
The event was a lot of fun,
she said, and it brought some
new people to the library.
“We were thrilled with the
turnout – and the fact that we
had all ages coming into the
library to see what we have to
offer,” she said.

spots for the cakewalk among the stacks at the
library. A separate children’s cupcake walk featured
children’s book author names.

He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
DON’T MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE
Advertising is an investment, not an expense. Think about it!
