Complete with our giant spider web and black widow out front, the Calhoun County Library held its annual Boo Bash last week and it was a great time for everyone!
On Thursday, October 31, 2024, from 5 PM - 7 PM, we held our Halloween event. We had games galore, including the fan-favorite Monster Mash where kids ranged from confused, scared, or even disgusted when they reached behind a curtain to touch items like witches’ fingers, vampire’s hearts, monster’s eyeballs, or mummy’s skin. Don’t worry, nothing was too bad for our brave little trick-or-treaters and all of it came out of our kitchen! What makes it so scary is the fact that kids were sticking their hands into an unknown substance without seeing it and the library might just have had a friendly ghost who wanted to grab their hands!
After visiting the Monster Mash, everyone had a great time playing games, winning prizes, getting candy, and snacking on fresh spun cotton candy from Twisted Sugar. Almost 800 people- yes, 800- visited the library in those two hours and we loved seeing every one of them. There were so many cute and interesting costumes. Some of our favorites might have been sharks, movie characters, animals, and puns! Everyone knows that the library loves some good puns. Even our library staff dressed up as some. We literally had staff members dressed as cinnamon sugar, pumpkin pie, and ginger - the Spice Girls. We had an old bat, which is what Batgirl turns into as she ages, too!
We had the best time seeing all the costumes, playing games, and eating cotton candy with trick-or-treaters of all ages. We really do live in a special place, Calhoun County, and we love serving our community. Next Up: Cookies with Santa and Porkchop Productions on December 17, 2024. So, be on the lookout for that information coming soon!
