Join us for our seventh annual Halloween Parade at the branch, and come dressed in your best costume! Branch Manager Jenny Reynolds will share a not-so-scary Halloween story with your little ghouls and goblins and they will dance to some fang-tastic Halloween music. After story time, Jenny will parade the attendees around the library in their Halloween finery and they will collect sweet treats. There will also be non-food options available for children with food allergies.
Don't forget to check out the trick-or-treat stations in the parking lot, which will contain some of our favorite Halloween inflatables. Trick-or-treat bags will be handed out to participants while supplies last.
For children 3 to 13 and their families.
