The iHeart Community Calendar

All ages are welcome to play the specially designed course that takes participants throughout the library.

A new feature of the event will be a contest to decorate a Fairway and Green that reflects either a landmark place in Oswego or a favorite book. Examples of landmark sites in Oswego include Fort Ontario, the Richardson Bates House Museum, the Riverview Walks, the West Pierhead Lighthouse, Breitbeck Park, the Maritime Museum and the Safe Haven Museum. Families, individuals, and organizations are eligible to enter.

Decorations can be made from any materials that do not make a lot of mess. (This includes items such as glitter or confetti.) The Green area with hole is generally about a 4-foot square platform. Decorations must fit on the platform. The Fairways are approximately 3 feet wide and mostly travel between bookshelves. They are between 10 and 20 feet long.

One prize will be awarded for best Oswego landmark design and one prize will be awarded for best book design. Prize winners receive a $50 gift certificate of your choice to any local business in Oswego.

To enter the contest, log on to the Friends website at: http://foloswego.wordpress.com.

Entries must be submitted by January 11, 2023. Bring a model or representation of your display to the library on Sunday, Jan. 15, 2023 from 3 to 4 p.m. Entries will be judged before the Mini Golf event starts at 10:30 a.m. on January 16, 2023. Entries will be judged on Creativity, Craftsmanship, Alignment with Theme and Overall Appearance.
