The first event to take place at the "Waterblast" party, sponsored by Family Time Entertainment at the Delphi Public Library on Wednesday, will be librarian Marcia Sledd eating a big, bug.

All children who participated in the summer reading program were challenged to read books for a total of 5,500 hours and if the students reached the goal, Sledd would eat a chocolate-covered cricket.

All of the children will be encouraged to participate in a drawing. The five winners will also be allowed to eat a bug - if they choose. A water show where everyone is "guaranteed to get wet" will follow.

Buttons will be handed out at the end of the event to all participating "bug eaters," to make them an official member of the "I Ate the Bug" club.
