Old Settlers Day celebration at the Talbot Library and Museum included lots of food and fun.  Those attending watched the Old Settlers Day Parade, ate hamburgers and hotdogs, bought books, participated in prize drawings, and purchased baked goods like Tana Turney's great fried pies at our bake sale.  

We all enjoyed seeing our won Grace Puffinbarger in the parade as Miss Talbot Library and Museum.
