April is here and there is so much going on this month at the library and in the community!\u00a0 We have an exciting living history program presented by Darrel Draper where he will perform in character as President Theodore Roosevelt.\u00a0 This educational and entertaining program is for people of all ages and will be held at the Community Pride Care Center at 2:00 Sunday, April 7th.\u00a0 The next Saturday the library will be stuffed with children and families as they get to make their own stuffed animal at our Make a Pal Stuffing Party.\u00a0 Ms. Cherie Werner will read a heart-warming story about the wonderful role our stuffed friends make in our lives then the stuffing will begin!\u00a0 If you missed the pre-order date there are extra “pals” available for the cost of $12 each.\u00a0 Inquire at the library for more information.<\/p>\n

Do you love pancakes?\u00a0 If you do April in Battle Creek is going to be a lip-smacking month for you!\u00a0 On April 7th the youth group at St. Johns will be having a pancake feed from 10:30 to 12:30 with Grubbs providing their delicious pancakes.\u00a0 Then on Saturday, April 13th the Battle Creek Lions Club will take to the griddle to flip up some mouth-watering pancakes at the community clubhouse in the city park.\u00a0 They will begin serving at 10:00 and continue till 1:00.<\/p>\n

While are mouths are watering over pancakes, don’t forget there’s also a few more Friday night Knights of Columbus Fish Fries at St. Patrick\u2019s Parish Hall.\u00a0 They serve from 5:30-8:00pm and carryouts are available!<\/p>\n

Our schools have book fairs, plays, and sporting events as well this month.\u00a0 One event to note is the Battle Creek Scholarship Banquet on Friday, April 5th.\u00a0 The speaker will be alum, Angie Klein.\u00a0 Make sure you call the high school for your reservations!<\/p>\n

Is that music you hear?\u00a0 Well, not yet, but there will soon be music and dancing at the Fire Hall for the Annual Fireman’s Ball on April 13th from 8:00pm to 1:00am.\u00a0 Ask your favorite fireman for tickets!<\/p>\n

That’s not the end to the Battle Creek events!\u00a0 Easter is coming!\u00a0 That means worship services at St. Patricks and St. Johns but also a special visit from the Easter Bunny.\u00a0 There will be an Easter Egg Hunt for children ages 0-8 at the city park on April 13th at 11am.\u00a0 So on April 13th, you and your child can come to the library at 9 make a stuffed pal, head to the park for some pancakes from the Lions Club, have the children find eggs at 11 and then go home take a nap and find a babysitter and come back into town for a night of music and dancing.\u00a0 Sounds like a hopping fun day and a wonderful month to be in Battle Creek!<\/p>\n
