The spirits were certainly stirring at Old Swedes this weekend! Florence and Ignatius were delighted to have so many guests stop by that they've been dancing on their graves ever since.

Thank you to everyone who attended Ghosts in the Graveyard and helped make the event a wonderful success. We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back next year for more history, mystery, and fun.
