'Basket Ballyhoo' Raises Nearly $5,000 for Madigan Library

In addition to the "Stories in a Basket" packages, a drawing was held for two high-end baskets: a Community Arts Center basket that included tickets for performances, refreshments in the Patron's Lounge, movie passes and more (won by Dorine Skorinko); and a Le Jeune Chef basket that included certificates for dinners and brunches at the restaurant, as well as other treats (won by Lenore Penfield).
