STANTON, KY — The Powell County Public Library was filled with laughter, learning, and plenty of crunch on Thursday, September 17th, as local youth gathered for a special apple-themed program. Made possible through an exciting partnership between the Powell County Public Library and the Powell County Health Department, the event brought healthy habits to life for children in kindergarten through 5th grade.
From 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., the young participants dove into the wonderful world of apples. The educational afternoon began with a lesson on the impressive nutritional value of the crisp fruit, teaching kids how apples help keep their bodies strong and energized.
Learning quickly turned into playtime as the children enjoyed a lively round of Apple Bingo. A second apple game kept the energy high, giving each child a chance to win a coveted squishie prize.
The highlight of the afternoon for many was the hands-on kitchen session. Instead of traditional sugary pastries, the kids decorated “healthy apple donuts”-coreless apple slices shaped just like donuts. The creative chefs topped their fruit rings with vanilla yogurt, strawberries, and an assortment of other nutritious toppings, proving that eating well can be both artistic and delicious.
No one left empty-handed, as each child took home a bright plastic apple packed with special treats inside.

The fun and learning do not stop with the autumn harvest. The library has already announced its next exciting installment for the K-5th grade crowd: “Going on a Skeleton Hunt!”
On Monday, October 26th at 4:00 p.m., the kiddos will embark on a thrilling library-wide hunt to find missing bones. Once all the pieces are gathered, they will work to put their skeletons back together. Alongside the game, participants will learn fascinating facts about the human skeletal system and discover how to keep their own bones healthy and strong.
As always, all youth programs hosted by the Powell County Public Library are completely FREE to the public. Mark your calendars for October 26th and get ready for a bone-afide good time!
