By JEANNE RICE | Norwalk Public Library director
The Norwalk Public Library raised about $1,900 for its building addition during the Norwalk Tractor Pull weekend, which was Aug. 11–13.
The proceeds were the result of a silent auction and a root-beer-float sale, for which Long Shot Saloon in Norwalk donated ice cream and root beer.
The village’s Quilters’ Club made arrangements for the space in the former Lehner’s Market building to display its quilts, gift baskets that had been donated by various people, and other items for the silent auction.
Essentially running the auction, the group also made the signs for business’s windows and the library for the silent auction and quilt show.
