Volunteers needed for library Book & Bake Sale

The Summit County Friends of the Library will host their annual winter Book & Bake Sale on Friday, Dec. 6, from noon to 6 p.m. and on Saturday, Dec. 7, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Main Library at the County Commons in Frisco. The money earned from this event will be used to sponsor programs that benefit both residents of and visitors to Summit County.

This year’s book sale setup will cover two rooms — one for nonfiction, one for fiction — which means no more crowded aisles as you search for the perfect book. In addition, the Friends of the Library will host a bake sale with many delicious treats.

Donations of baked goods such as pies, brownies, cookies, cakes and breads are needed. Volunteers are also requested to assist with set up on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 3 p.m. and operating the sale on Friday, Dec. 6, and Saturday, Dec. 7. Helping hands could also assist with takedown and cleanup, starting promptly at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7. If you are available at any of these times and would like to help your local library, call the Main Library at (970) 668-5555.

To learn more about additional volunteer opportunities and how you can help the Summit County libraries, visit http://www.summitcountylibraries.org; “like” the library on Facebook; follow it on Twitter and Pinterest; or come by any of the three library locations in Frisco, Breckenridge and Silverthorne.

Search and rescue benefit at Dam Brewery

The Dillon Dam Brewery will host a snow-sport movie debut on Thursday, Dec. 5, to benefit the Summit County Rescue Group.

“Tracing Skylines” is the latest flim from Poor Boyz and Red Bull Media House. “Every skier knows what it’s like to call a few friends, pack up and head out for a trip,” reads the literature released for the film. “Rather than spend another winter chasing storms, six of the top pros and their closest pals embark on their own interpretations of a ‘trip of a lifetime,’ taking them deep into new and uncharted territory.”

Admission is $8 at the door and includes one raffle ticket. Additional raffle tickets are $2 each or three for $5. Raffle prizes include ski gear, swag and lift tickets. Summit County Rescue Group is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that provides backcountry search and rescue services to Summit County 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, a no charge. It is one of six mountain rescue teams in Colorado. For more information on the group, visit http://www.scrg.org.

The Dam Brewery will also hold an open mic night, hosted by local rock-blues guitarist Arnie J. Green, following the search and rescue benefit. There is no cover for the open mic. For more information on these and other events, visit http://www.dambrewery.com.
