About this event
Get into the Halloween spirit with a gourd time at the library! Unleash your creativity and paint your very own pumpkin jar. Decorate it in a ghoulish, magical, mysterious, or monstrously fun style. The theme is entirely up to you! All pumpkins and acrylic painting supplies will be provided by the library. Please note: only library-provided materials may be used. Once complete, your pumpkin jar will be displayed on the first floor of the library from October 14–31, where patrons can vote for their favorite design. The design with the most votes will receive a small prize. This event is for adults ages 18 and up only. Space is limited and registration is required.
