Golf the Winter Blues Away

The Friends of Woodstock Public Library will transform the library into an 18-hole miniature golf course on March 14 and 15. The course will travel all three levels of the library and includes a water hole, a trip up the elevator and down the back stairs. There will also be a 19th hole with Jaci's Cookies. 

This year Mini Links will feature a Friday night event just for grown-ups on March 14. The Library after Dark event includes Mini Links, hors d'oeuvres, and drinks. Attendees must be 21 years or older to attend. Tickets for the Friday night event are $25/person and must be purchased at the library in advance.  No tickets will be sold at the door. 

The traditional Saturday Mini Links will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (last tee time) on March 15. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children 8 and under. Tickets may be purchased at the door. Golf professionals from Bull Valley, Woodstock, Boulder Ridge and Prairie Isle country clubs will play a round in the afternoon. Golfers who hit a hole-in-one at the designated hole will win a (model) car.

There will also be a raffle with prizes such as the Tower of Games, golf accessories, and Page for a Day for Rep. Jack Franks. Raffle entries begin on March 10, with the winning tickets being drawn at the end of the event on Saturday. Winners need not be present to win. Raffle tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5.
