Cannelton library to host patriotic popsicles craft night June 11
Perry County families had a $5 chance to make three patriotic popsicle crafts at Cannelton's library, with only 10 seats and registration required.
The Perry County Public Library’s Cannelton Branch offered a small, hands-on craft night for families at 210 S. 8th Street, giving neighbors a low-cost way to mark the season without leaving town. Patriotic Popsicles Craft Night was set for 4:45 p.m. and invited participants to make three decorative popsicle crafts with Jennifer Brown of Glitter & Vinyl Girl.
The program cost $5 per person and was capped at 10 participants, making it one of the more intimate events on the branch calendar. Registration was required by phone or email, a setup that kept the group size tight and the evening manageable for anyone looking for a short, structured activity. The library described the craft night as a hands-on way to “celebrate summer.”
The timing fit neatly with the run-up to Independence Day and other early summer gatherings. A patriotic craft project gave children and adults something festive to do together, and the finished pieces offered an easy take-home item that could be used as seasonal decoration or simply saved as a keepsake. For Perry County families, the draw was practical as much as playful: a nearby activity, a clear price, and a defined end product.
The Cannelton Branch, which is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., continued to serve as one of the county’s local access points for library programming. Perry County Public Library says it has two locations and a bookmobile, giving the system a wider reach across the county while still keeping events like this one close to home in Cannelton.
The craft night also fit into a broader summer schedule at the library. Perry County Public Library’s summer programming ran from May 26 through July 17, including the Children’s & Young Adult Summer Reading Program. That larger calendar placed the Cannelton event alongside other small-group offerings and seasonal activities, reinforcing the branch’s role as a place where families can find inexpensive, local programming throughout the summer.
