The Friends of Franklin County Public Libraries invite everyone to a delicious and fun-filled Souper Celebration, a Soup, Bread, and Book Sale Event on Saturday, January 17, 2026 at the Eastpoint Branch Library, 160 Hickory Dip Rd, Eastpoint, FL. This event will be open to the public from 10 am – 2 pm ET. Members of the Friends have exclusive early access starting at 9:30 am. Also new members, renewing members, and those donating can get a Friends tote bag. This fun celebration will offer local culture and art, with live music from the “Ukulilies” and local artisans from the SGI Quilters and the Lanark Village Wandering Star Quilters showcasing some of their stunning local goods. This is a family friendly event and all are welcome.
This annual event features delicious homemade soups, freshly baked artisan breads and used books and DVDs. Local residents bring their delicious homemade soups from seafood bisques and gumbos to chili and Brunswick stew, along with freshly baked breads. With dozens of soups ranging from exotic to healthy to old-fashioned, visitors are encouraged to come early to get the best selection before they sell out.
The celebration highlights local culture and artistry, including a live performance by the “Ukulilies,” a talented group of ukulele players and singers known for their cheerful tunes and positive vibes. Their repertoire of sing-along songs is perfect for audiences of all ages, making it a delightful musical experience for the whole family. Adding to the day’s charm, the SGI Quilters and Lanark Village Wandering Star Quilters will showcase their beautiful handmade creations. These talented quilters celebrate the art of quilting as both a cherished tradition and a modern craft. Guests can admire their work and even learn more about this time-honored skill.
