A Spooktacular Painting Experience at the Fairview Public Library Aug. 21

MARGARETVILLE — The Fairview Public Library invites community members to bask in the dusky dreaminess of autumn during the dog days of summer at a FREE Paint & Sip event on August 21st from 5:00–7:00 PM at the library, located at 43 Walnut Street, Margaretville.

This fun and relaxed evening will celebrate creativity and community as we look forward to crisp air, playful breezes, luscious harvest aromas lacing the air, and the excitement of dressing up for Halloween. Participants of all skill levels are encouraged to attend—no prior painting experience is necessary. A library staff member will guide attendees step-by-step through creating a beautiful dark academia-style painting. While instruction will be provided, each participant will create a unique, one-of-a-kind piece in their own personal style.

Complimentary snacks and bottled water will be available. Attendees are welcome to bring a beverage of their choice (BYOB). Guests who choose to bring wine or other alcoholic beverages are kindly reminded to arrange for a designated driver.

The event is designed to offer a welcoming space for community members to socialize, unwind, and express their creativity in a supportive environment.

RSVP by midday on August 18th to ensure adequate supplies are available.
