Celebrate with the Hays Public Library Foundation! The Foundation is hosting the 4th Annual Wine & Cheese Fundraiser on October 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Hays Public Library.

The event will begin with a wine and cheese social hour, followed by a fascinating presentation from Matthew Fulkerson. The former American Ninja Warrior contestant will discuss how he transformed a decommissioned missile silo outside of Wilson into an adventure resort. The evening also will include a raffle and silent auction.

The Hays Public Library Foundation was established in 2001 to serve as a source for funding emergent and unexpected needs and events associated with the library. A project to remodel the basement of the library is underway. The money raised through this event will help fund improvements planned to update the Kansas Room, which is housed in the basement. More information about the Foundation and ways to contribute is available at hayslibrary.org/foundation.

 Tickets cost $30 and can be purchased at the library or online at hayslibrary.org/event beginning August 19. There are a limited number of tickets. Businesses interested in sponsoring the event or providing items for the silent auction or raffle are encouraged to contact Callie Kolacny at [email protected].
