Every once in awhile, you hear about an upcoming event, that makes you want to know more.  This happened to me, this week.  I was checking out all the upcoming events on the COMMUNITY EVENTS CALENDAR and stumbled upon an intriguing title.  The event was hosted by the WEYBURN PUBLIC LIBRARY, and was open to anyone who wanted to take part. 

The event title:  GIANT MONOPOLY. 

When I clicked on the event, I found out the whole nation was celebrating NATIONAL PLAY MONOPOLY DAY.

The WPL joined in the celebrations, and, of course, I needed to see how it was going to be played:

The WHOLE FLOOR had been transformed into a Monopoly board:

The coordinator of the event, had spend a LOT of time preparing for this one!  Even the dice were HUGE!!!

Playing the game, six participants... all of them were trying to be the crowned champions!!! 

They had a lot of fun, and ended the game after 1.5 hours.  We all know that a game of Monopoly can last days, or longer, so EVERYONE WAS CROWNED WINNERS, and received a pass to enjoy a session at the local swimming pool. 

A BIG THANK-YOU going out to the WPL, for all that you do, for ALL AGE GROUPS/INTEREST GROUPS in our community!!!
