Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof’s free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive. Shunned and ostracized by many old friends and bereft of government-approved medicines, he decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, he joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts and established a hugely successful “buyers’ club.”

It’s time for the Platteville Public Library’s PEEPS-O-RAMA, the marshmallow Peeps diorama contest for ALL AGES.

Saturday March 8
Time slots are available from

  • 10:00 am – noon
  • Noon – 2:00 pm

We provide Peeps, a box, glue, paper, markers, scissors, and 2 hours.
You create a diorama of a scene from a book using Peeps.
You may also bring any other materials you wish to create your diorama. We will have roughly a dozen Peeps per team. If you need more Peeps or need certain colors or styles, you may bring your own.

More fine print:

  • Sign up as an individual or in teams of up to four people.

  • Participants who are 12 and under must be accompanied by a teammate 13 or older.

  • To register you or your team for your 2 hour time slot, call the library at 348-7441, ext 4 or visit the library at 65 S Elm St and sign up at the Information Services desk.

  • Dioramas will be on display at the library so library patrons can vote for the Peep-le’s Choice award.

  • Winners will receive fame, glory, and Peeps-tastic prizes!
