Appleton Gear Fest

I am sorry for the delay on this. Unfortunately we are not having an event this year due to the space and timing of other events at the Appleton library. We will endeavor to schedule for 2019. Thank you for your support.

A friendly reminder for Appleton Gear Fest/Steampunk Saturday - it is tomorrow starting at noon. Don't forget to dress up and bring some outstanding Steampunk items to show off. We will doing a Show & Tell in the afternoon and you can have put some of your artifacts on display if you want. Remember you do not have to have created the item. Plus we will have two costume contests - one for experienced people and another for amateur. There will be prizes for the costume contest plus lots of prizes for people in attendance.

Parking note - For those who aren’t parking in the library lot, the parking ramp has changed. You have to take a ticket going in, and scan the ticket and pay on the way out. If paying with cash, there is just one way out, to the south (Washington Ave.) in the lane next to the cashier’s stand. The others only take credit cards.

It is not too late to encourage your friends and family to attend this free event. Please share to your heart's content.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. It will be a wonderful time. Cheers!
