Harry Potter Day
Harry Potter Day @ the Fort Belknap College Library
Everyone was “Wild About Harry” at the Fort Belknap College Library on Thursday, July 25, 2007.
The one-day event started with the participants building their own wizard hats, followed by making broomstick or magical pencils. Fortunes were read by Professor Char at the “Divinations Station”. Magic Wands were made at the “Defense of the Dark Arts Station.” Potions and Flowers were made by everyone interested. The first Harry Potter movie, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” was shown for everyone who wanted to watch. When everyone was done watching the movie, they went outside for a quick game of dodge ball. Lunch was served, then back to the fun. Treats from Hogwart’s Trolley were handed out to everyone who participated. And finally the Wizard Hat Pinata was broken to signify the end of the day. A Quiddich match had been scheduled but unfortunately the end of the day came a little quicker than planned due to a water outage. In spite of that, everyone had a wonderful time celebrating the magic of Harry Potter.
Thirty-five people of all ages attended, with 22 staying for the whole day. The first 20 participants received a copy of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the final book in the Harry Potter series. This event was due in large part to the efforts of Girl Scout Troop 1602 of the Huron Valley Council, Ann Arbor, Michigan. For her efforts in coordinating the event, one of the members, Liz McCubbrey, will be earning her Girl Scout Silver Award, the highest Girl Scout award for her age level. Other Girl Scout leaders and members were Char Olson, Gabriela McCubbrey, Carol Collins, Rebecca Donnelly, Lydia Basinger, Sophia Bell-Streety, Tila Havlik and DeAnna Crout. Fort Belknap College Library was represented by Brenda Hopkins, Steve Gives and Eva English. This one-time event was also sponsored through an Enhancement Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
