Why is a raven like a writing desk?

We may never know the answer, but approximately 20 local moms and tots gave the infamous riddle from Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, their best guess during the Mad Hatter tea party Tuesday afternoon.

The event, held at the Okanagan Regional Library in Vernon, included games, crafts, riddles, a reading and of course, tea and goodies. The tea was held in conjunction with the Vernon Winter Carnival.
