There will be devilishly good spirits to imbibe and spectral delights to dance among in the pale moonlight. T
he festivities began at noon this year as it’s Nick’s 10th year celebrating Halloween with the community. We’ll start things off with a pumpkin carving contest hosted by the library — $10 to enter, limited to 50 spots & there will be 5 categories for prizes.

All proceeds benefit the library, with pumpkins being provided by Baytree Farms.

And it’s not a party unless there’s a magician. Rob Hoover will be doing 2 shows, one at 4:15 & one at 6.

At 6:45 Jess Richey & Amanda Pica will be reading selected passages from their spooky new book, just published by Hollow Oak Press.
