Leaf hunt and fall games at the public library's free family festival Thursday evening

The festival runs from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, at the library, 151 W. Cooper St. It is come-and-go, with activities planned for a range of ages, according to the city's event listing. Goodie bags for children will be handed out while they last, and children must stay with a caregiver.
