The Halloween Party was a HIT!

We had a great time at our Halloween Party on Monday night!  We enjoyed stories, treats, and a great magic show by Jim Combs & the Combs Family Magic Show.  We awarded prizes for costumes--including the Most Graceful, the Furriest, the Scariest, and the Most Heroic.  Thank you to everyone who helped make the party such a great success, especially Marie Brennan (who baked all the wonderful cupcakes), Catherine Adams (who helped hand out treats in her amazing witch costume) and Catherine Trotter (who was our guest story reader for the evening).
