A HUGE thank you to our community for your support of the 2026 Curwood Festival, Duck Race! Thanks to those who purchased tickets, let us host a table to sell, and those who volunteered their time, the Friends of the Owosso Library raised over $1,100 to help support our library. More importantly, we got to meet, chat with, and make memories with so hundreds of our friends and neighbors. Look for us out in the community next year for your 2027 Duck Race tickets! 🎟️
