Things to do for Thanksgiving fun in Abilene
As Thanksgiving approaches, Abilene families will have plenty of opportunities to celebrate the season beyond the dinner table. From turkey trots and craft workshops to children's activities, story times and hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics programs, local organizations are hosting a variety of Thanksgiving-themed events throughout November designed to bring the community together. Craft Hour: Thanksgiving Pie Kids and families can celebrate the Thanksgiving season with a little creativity at the South Branch Library on Sunday, Nov. 15, during Craft Hour: Thanksgiving Pie. Participants will have the chance to make their own festive pie-themed craft to take home, using supplies provided by the library. The free, come-and-go program is open to all ages and offers a fun, hands-on way for families to spend an afternoon together. The event begins at 2 p.m., and no registration is required. Innovation on Parade Children and families are invited to get creative at the Abilene Public Library's Innovation on Parade program on Wednesday, Nov. 18. The event will begin with a reading of "Balloons Over Broadway" by Melissa Sweet, which tells the story of the artist who helped create the giant character balloons that became a staple of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day
