Nearly 100 Attend Hocutt-Ellington Memorial Library’s All Hallows Read Celebration
Kids in kindergarten through 5th grade had a ghostly time at Hocutt-Ellington Memorial Library’s All Hallows Read on Thursday, October 30. Nearly 100 children and their families joined the library’s outdoor pavilion and awnings for an evening filled with games, activities, snacks, and spooky stories.
Young participants enjoyed a variety of festive activities, including crafting haunted houses, creating slime, concocting magical potions, playing skeleton mini golf, and tossing rings around witches’ hats. A highlight of the night was the Spooky Story Contest with the winning tales read aloud for everyone to enjoy.
Costumes were on full display, from spooky to silly, adding to the festive atmosphere. Every child went home with a free spooky book, keeping the Halloween spirit alive beyond the event. The library team thanked everyone who attended and shared excitement for future celebrations, looking forward to next year’s hauntingly fun evening.
