Youth with flowers in their hair peeks out of a cardboard cutout of a pumpkin carriage. Alissa (as Maleficent) is in between two children in fairy tale costumes. Costumed princess kneels down to greet a child (in costume) and adult. Costumed librarian reads a fairy tale to a bunch of costumed children and adults. Costumed princess talks to a child in a dress in front of many costumed adults and children. Cary Library staff all dressed in costumes gather for the Fairy Tale Ball 2022.

Giant wizard towers over an adult holding a child. Two people in costume wave hello. Two costumed people dance with a giant wizard towering behind them. Three young children dressed as princesses stand in background as one young child dressed as a princess kneels in front of them.
