Happy Halloween!

Posted Fri, 10/30/2009 - 3:44pm by Kapila S. Love

Happy Halloween! The Children's Department would like to thank all of the storytellers and the families who attended our 4th annual storytelling concert, Ghostravaganza on Friday October 23rd, and made it such a grand success! We'd like to encourage adults and children to sign up to tell a story for next year's event, Ghostravaganza 2010! What makes this event really special is all the effort children and adults put into sharing their stories with the audience. This is a collaborative, community event, so please do keep this tradition alive! Contact the children's department for more information on telling a story or performing a song, poem or skit. Here are a couple of pictures from our spooky event:

Alyssa was one of our many awesome storytellers!
