Harold the Library Bear prepares for EPIC
SNOWBALL FIGHT!
Hedgesville, WV – I walked into the
Hedgesville Public Library this morning and was surprised to see Harold the
Library Bear standing over a pile of ice cubes he had poured on the carpet in
the Children’s Department.
When I asked him
what was going on, he said, “I’m building an ice fort of course!”
He further elaborated: “There’s a
big snowball fight here at the library on Saturday February 28th at 11, so I’m getting ready
now! I need a fort to protect myself!”
A snowball fight
in the library? It sounded hard to believe, but after talking with the
Hedgesville Library staff, everything started to make sense. They said that
they are indeed planning a snowball fight, but not like the one Harold was
expecting.
“It’s a special
kind of snowball fight?” Harold asked, disbelieving. “An indoor snowball fight
with soft snowballs that don’t make people wet or cold?”
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,” he added, after a
moment. “I guess that makes more sense. I was wondering how the books would
stay dry, plus I was worried someone might get hurt! These soft, pretend
snowballs are much better.”
“Of
course,” he added, “I’m still going to win, even with pretend snowballs! Most
people don’t know it, but out of all the forest animals, bears are the best
snowball fighters!
