News from Eagle Bend's Past
25 Years Ago
November 22, 2000
The Eagle Bend Library was a dangerous place to be on Thursday afternoon, November 16. All kinds of wild animals were seen, including a pair of lions stalking the aisles. Animal Tamer Barb Lantis had the situation well under control. Lantis, the Children’s Service Coordinator for the Great River Regional Library, was hosting a Pet Roundup and story hour for children ages 3 to 7. Each of the children brought their favorite stuffed animal that they held during the stories and the short movie that was shown.
