Holliday season is finally here; you can feel it in the cold, crisp air, and see it in the fallen leaves, and it all started with Halloween. We hope you and your loved ones celebrated Monday 31st with us at the library park. The event had a little bit of everything; from the traditional pumpking carving contest and trick or treat, to the “goulish” demonstrations, there was something for young and old.
Although the event at the library park was mainly directed towards children, parents had the time of their lives watching their little ones have fun; the karate demonstration, for example, was surrounded by parents, while at the “little gym” mothers and fathers helped their babies through the many obstacles.
The movie event happening inside the “story room” was another popular event for young and old. Short Halloween movies were shown throughout the event; the kids also enjoyed free popcorn and Halloween stories read by volunteers from our local Kohls store. There was little space inside the room, but children were so entertained nothing outside the movie soundtrack could be heard.
The pumpkin contest was the closing event; there were many remarkable pumpkins in the competition. A cat, an angry bird, and a fairy were all amazing, but my personal favorite was franken-pumpkin.
I hope everyone had fun at the event and remember that this is one of many events the Monrovia Public Library plans each year; make sure to check the library calendar often so you won’t miss out on the action.
