Fall is coming up on us quick. And with fall comes a whole host of parades and festivals in and around Kansas City! The following are just some of the parades/festivals coming up (and ones in which MCPL will be participating):
The parade will start everything off on Saturday morning. Throughout the weekend, there will be several different musical performances as well as other live entertainment. There will be a children’s area and a petting zoo to keep the kids entertained. There will also be several different vendors selling food, crafts, etc.
This past Saturday, the library’s Book Cart Drill Team took part in the Fall Fun Fest Parade. I was so happy to see so many of our library customers taking part in this event and cheering for us. As employees, we know how important the library and its services are to our community, and we strive every day to create a positive impact on those we serve.
What would September be without Oktoberfest?!? In a time-honored Lee’s Summit tradition, Oktoberfest 2011 will be held September 23rd and 24th in historic downtown.
Fall is almost upon us. As everyone in Weston knows, the first Saturday in October is Applefest! There will be parades, apple cider, apple butter making, and hay baling. Shops downtown are decorated for the season, and will be busy. I hope everyone comes out to see the parade because the Book Cart Drill Team will show off their Book cart moves.

I had the great honor of representing the North Independence Branch at the annual Cherry Blossom Festival at the Sermon Center on Sunday, May 6th. If you aren’t familiar with the Cherry Blossom Festival, you’re not alone! I had heard of it only in passing.
July 4th is a national holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence. Most cities across America celebrate with lots of summertime activities. Liberty, Missouri is no exception. There are several events planned, and all are invited to come join the fun and festivities.
