HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM RIVER BOOKSHOP
Last Saturday, River Bookshop held its third annual Witches Walk. HUGE THANK YOU to the 17 participating businesses and locations for the treats and contest donations, to our judges Chris Gibb and Jennifer Ibrahim, and especially to all the amazing families who joined us for the trick-or-treating fun and costume parade.
We were so impressed with all the spooky, funny, crafty costumes we saw from our participants and our participating businesses. We hope to see you again next year.
Happy Halloween!
HALLOWEEN POETRY CONTEST WINNERS
We had several entries into our contest and our four winners were Grace, Brooklyn, Davis and Evelyn. Thank you to our winners and to all our writers for their spooky and sweet Amherstburg Halloween Poems. They were a pleasure to read and hear at our Story Time.
