Thursday news tidbits from Iola-Scandinavia

  • Now on the StoryWalk® in Jorgens Park Preserve in Scandinavia is “Pick a Circle, Gather Squares: A Fall Harvest of Shapes.” This clever concept book follows a family on a trip to a pumpkin patch and invites children to pick out shapes from the seasonal scenery—apple bushel circles, square hay bales, diamond kites in the autumn sky! Felicia Sanzari Chernesky’s sweet verses are perfectly complemented by Susan Swan’s gorgeous collage-inspired art.
  • Highway B Bridge in Scandinavia will reopen on Wednesday, Oct. 12, after the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1 p.m.
  • The Scandinavia Booster Club recently presented a check for $5000 to the Scandinavia Fire Department.
