HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The official public unveiling of the Reno County Community Quilt will be with a display during the Hutchinson Public Library's Summer Celebration which is held in the library's parking lot on June 2 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The quilt will be located inside the library's garage. 

The Summer Celebration is the official kick-off party for the library's Summer Reading programs. 

Those who participated in the quilt making process will have a preview event May 30 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Conference Room #1 on the second floor of the library.

The quilt will be displayed on the main floor of the Library from June 3-30, then at Clayworks at Disability Supports at 1125 N Main St July 3-31 and at Dillon Nature Center at 3002 East 30th in August and at the Domestic Arts Building at the Kansas State Fair during its run from September 8-17.

If your organization wants to host the quilt, contact [email protected] and tell where and when you want to host the quilt.

The library will provide a clear protective cover for the quilt, a heavy-duty stand, a crossbar, and sandbags for displaying the quilt. Your location for the quilt display must be indoors, able to accommodate an eight-foot high stand, and have about ten feet of linear floor space. Library staff will deliver the quilt, set up the display and remove it when your display period is over.
