Library Halloween Party

All manner of costumed mortals from preschool through 5th grade are invited to the North Judson-Wayne Township Public Library on October 24th for our annual Halloween Party.

Sign-up for costume judging will begin at 10:15 a.m. and will end at 10:50 a.m., judging will be at 11 a.m. After a parade through town to show off the costumes, the winners will be announced.

Then from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. there will be a Goblin Game Grove for younger or more sensitive visitors, and – for those brave enough – our annual Haunted House.

Create/Donate a Fleece Blanket

Interested in learning how to tie a fleece blanket? A class is forming at the North Judson-Wayne Township Library for November 3rd at 6:30 p.m.

Price is $10 and you need to bring your own materials. However, if you make two blankets and donate one of them for this year’s Angel Tree, you will get a discount.

Call Vicky Reetz at 574-896-2841 for more details.
