Halloween Costume Contest
It’s that spooky time of year again! A time when ghosts, goblins, and ghouls wander the streets extorting treats by threatening tricks to ever suspecting households. Every year, Aitkin Library has a contest to choose which ghost or ghoul, or cowboy or princess… most honors the Halloween spirit. On Thursday, October 27 at 5:30 we’ll be having our Halloween party. It’ll start with a bag of treats and a spooky Halloween special. Afterwards, kids will decorate their own pumpkins with paint and/or stickers. At the end of the party, awards will be given for best costumes.
