On Thursday evening, December 12, at 6:30 pm, the Princeton Public Library will host a life-sized Candy Land Reading Night for children in pre-K through fourth grade. The evening will start out with stories and music and then there will be time to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus and have a photo taken with them.

The evening will continue with our famous Life-sized Candy Land game. The popular children’s game will be brought to life by costumed characters like King Candy, Grandma Gingersnap, Lord Licorice, and Queen Frostine. Participants will take a candy walk to King Candy’s Castle, through the Peppermint Woods, Gumdrop Mountain, Lollipop Forest and past the Gingerbread House to receive candy treats.
