On Wednesday, October 31, 2007 the library was crawling with everything from vampires to fairy princesses. The festivities began with Mr. Neiman reading “10 Trick-or-treaters: A Halloween Counting Book” by Janet Schulman. Story time was followed by a lollipop hunt, which was led by Robyn Whittington. Barbara Richards, Maureen Wright, and Mary Jane Neiman led various games, which were enjoyed by all. The finale of the evening was a costume contest, which was divided categories based on age. Pictures of the winners for each category can be found below.
Throughout the party, everyone enjoyed punch and loads of goodies. Robyn Whittington, provided hospitality on behalf of the Friends of the Library, and worked very hard to organize all of the food and activities. Many members of the Friends also donated food and baked items for all of the ghosts and goblins to enjoy.
The following members of the Teen Council artfully designed and created a chocolate “haunted house” complete with a graveyard in front: Shannon, Katherine, Travis, Katelin, and Mathew. John, a teen volunteer, also graciously helped with the project.
We extend a huge “thank you” to the Friends of the Library as well as the Teen Council for making this an unforgettable event for all of the youth who participated. In addition to the above-mentioned volunteers, Dawn Scotto, Roy Manning, and Colin Whittington worked very hard to help with the party.
Crystal Condrey was kind enough to take the following photos to capture the memories of this year’s Halloween festivities.
