It's a cake walk!

For the first time in its 75-year history, all 29 branches of the ORL were open at the same time to host Open House celebrations honouring this important anniversary. Branches had historical displays, special guests, readings by authors, children's storytimes, commemorative booklists, and many other activities for the public to enjoy.

But by far the most popular item at branches were the cakes! Eager children sat patiently through dignitary's speeches waiting for the big cake-cutting at many locations, set to demolish the hard work of bakeries throughout the ORL region. Some bakeries had high-tech capabilities to put a screening of the 75th anniversary logo on the frosting, while others used traditional icing tubes to design a greeting. Here is a sweet sampling of designs....a cake walk through the ORL region!
