Library teen volunteers read stories, provide a craft table, a game station (imaginary horse races - cardboard boxes decorated as horses), and a giant cauldron for children to drop rubber mice and GID insects. Volunteers dramatically stir the pot (soup/potion/etc). 13:58:22 From Katherine to Everyone: We just partnered with our city Parks N Rec for Story Time in the Park (Hammock Park) 2x a month. 13:58:30 From Katherine to Everyone: yes 13:58:32 From Katherine to Everyone: no o 13:58:48 From Katherine to Everyone: Volunteers go out of their way to decorate 4-6 boxes 13:59:17 From Katherine to Everyone: the boxes have "suspenders" to hang on the children as the children wear them as they compete in the races 13:59:28 From Christine to Everyone: Sorry, I have to leave early. Thanks! 14:00:11 From Kimberly to Everyone: We will be participating in the trick-or-treating around lake Defuniak this year. I guess people decorate their tables.
