Family Movie Matinee – Saturday, 10/18 at 11:00am

The Halloweentown movie poster. At the foreground at the bottom of the image is a jack-o-lantern on a pedestal. Behind the jack-o-lantern is a purple brick building stretching across the length of the image that says "City Hall" on it above where the doors would be (though the actual doors are obscured by the pumpkin in the foreground). The sky is purple with pink clouds. In the sky at about the center of the image, it says the movie's title, "Halloweentown" in orange text. The first "o" in the title is a jack-o-lantern. Above the title text, there are three children. The leftmost child is a 12-year-old boy with dark brown hair and round glasses. The girl to the right of him has her hand around his shoulder. She looks about a year older than him, and has long dark brown hair that she's wearing in a ponytail. She has a long beaded necklace with some kind of circular pendant attached. To the right of the older girl, there's a girl that looks younger than both other children, at about 6 years old. She also has dark brown hair in a ponytail. The older girl has her other arm around the younger girl's shoulder as well. In the top left, there is a blonde witch riding a broomstick in the air. She is waving and smiling at the children. In response, all three children are looking back at her with curious expressions. In the top right, the moon, which is blue, peeks out of the corner of the image.

Adult Craft: Pumpkin Decorating! Tuesday, 10/14 at 5:30pm

Two side-by-side images of decorated pumpkins. In the left-hand image, there are two pumpkins on an elevated platform. The one on the left has a black cat painted on it, with its back arched and no facial features except for a pair of bright yellow eyes. The one on the right has big green eyes with small black pupils; downward-sloping eyebrows; a small, round, upturned nose; and a smirk with two white vampire fangs poking out of its mouth. On the lower level of the platform, there are also two painted pumpkins. The one on the left has downward-drooping green eyes, a big green nose, and a squiggly mouth with stitches across it. There are also some stitches above the pumpkin's left eye. It resembles a cartoonish interpretation of Frankenstein's monster. The pumpkin on the right has narrow, silly-looking yellow eyes with a cross-eyed expression; rounded eyebrows; a big, oval-shaped clown nose; and a squiggly mouth. The right-hand image has three pumpkins. The smallest one is in the foreground. It is white, with paint splatters all over it in blue, orange, red, green, yellow, pink, and purple paint. Behind and to the left of the small white pumpkin is a larger orange pumpkin with decorative, colorful, patterned paper tape, which is creating vertical stripes up and down the pumpkin. There are also some strips of tape forming sig-zag patterns between some of the vertical strips. To the right of that pumpkin, there is a slightly larger orange pumpkin. It has had blue and pink glitter sprinkled all over the top of it. There are some plastic gems glued to the pumpkin, as well as some foam shapes. There are also a few small pom-poms glued to it.

Get festive by decorating small pumpkins with us! The pumpkins will be provided on a first come, first served basis. This craft is for adults. Our events are free and open to the public!
