Create Your Own Haunted Headstone! 👻

Calling all little ghouls and goblins! Join us on October 27 at 6pm for a spooky craft night in the Children’s Room.

Kiddos ages 6-12 are invited to come decorate their very own haunted (or not-so-haunted) headstone! Paint and decorate a cardboard “headstone” using the provided art supplies. Supplies will be available on a first come, first served basis while they last.

Check out Ms. Jamie's and Ms. Ashley M.'s spooky headstones! 🪦

This event is for ages 6-12 and will be held in the Children’s Room.

Have questions? Contact Jamie: [email protected] or 315-785-7709
