Halloween is a time for the kids to dress up in the character of their choice. From cute little princesses to Batman to the more traditional costumes such as witches, ghosts, pumpkins, and monsters. They are all cute in their own way. I have always loved Halloween. It has always been a time for me to get the house decorated, a full bowl of candy or treats ready, and the fun of the little or older kids coming around with their "Trick-Or-Treat". Here are some events to enjoy with your family to celebrate fall and Halloween. Along with the events listed below many of the storytimes the week of Halloween have Halloween related themes. If I am missing any please feel free to email me at jodil@macaronikid.com and I will be sure to get the events to the list.
