Pumpkin Decorating on Saturday, October 5th was a great event!  Turn out was so good that we ran out of pumpkins to decorate!!  Thank you to the Anonymous donor who helped to defray the cost of pumpkins.
The Fall Festival of Fun on the 19th was filled with, games, crafts, snacks and stories!
Toddler Story Time this month was lots of fun!  Shannon from the Fire Department was a special guest.  She read a story and showed us all kinds of fun fire fighting gear!  On the 4th Friday of the Month, we hold story time at the Nursing home...This month we got to dress up in Halloween Costumes for the nursing home residents.
The 7th Annual Monster Mile was a great success.  We had 62 children and at least that many adults take part in the Run and walk.  Thanks to ITS, Monticello Police Department, Monticello Streets department, Culligan Water and other volunteers who help make this a safe and fun event!
