On Saturday, Sept. 14, from 5 to 7 p.m., the Ripley Friends of the Library will host their Silent Auction and Fish Fry.
The Ripley Friends of the Library raise funds to help with bringing programs to the library and contribute to other things that are needed. The event is scheduled to take place at the Lions Club Shelter along the Ohio River. In case the weather doesn’t cooperate, the event will be moved to the Ripley Library Annex.
This is the fifth year for this event. The first-year local artists and crafters created fish, the second year it was oars, third year birdhouses and the fourth year fronds. This year local artisans are helping to support this event by creating items in any medium that was inspired by the Village of Ripley or the Ohio River. There will be 20 items to be auctioned. Most of the items have been completed and can be found on the Ripley Library Facebook page www.facebook.com/ripleyohiolibrary.
