Candy Land Comes to Life

The staff at the Heights Libraries has pulled out all the stops for tonight’s special kids’ program: A live-action version of Candy Land, complete with candy canes, a gingerbread house, and a colorful path winding across a life-sized game board. Brave gingerbread girls and boys will get the chance to follow game-character guides through the Peppermint Forest on their quest for Kandy Castle. When they arrive at the gates, they’ll be rewarded with light refreshments and a photo op with King Kandy. “It’s going to make for a truly fun, magical evening for the kids,” promises youth services librarian Susan Black. It’s all happening from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lee Road branch. It’s free, but parents must accompany their children. Find out more by phone or at the website.
