While school may be closed for spring break, art class was still in session for local children this week. Staff with Polk County Public Libraries invited children to come out for an afternoon of fun and creativity during its second annual Art at the Park event at Stearns Park in Columbus Wednesday. Children had a chance to get messy with some creative arts and crafts on the lawn outside Stearns School. (Photo by Ted Yoakum/Tryon Daily Bulletin)
