“SPOOKY HALLOWEEN TALES AND FACE PAINTING”
October 28th, 2006 by cherie | Filed under Children's Events.On Saturday, October 28, 2006, the Roxbury Library served as the setting for “Spooky Halloween Tales and Face Painting,” sponsored by Roxbuey’s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation.
Featured in this truly scary pre-Halloween event were frightful tales of ghouls, witches, and vampires, chillingly and hauntingly recounted by Roxbury’s three virtuoso “Spellsworths”–Jeanne D’Barque, Miss Bonnie Bones, and Messier’s Grammy–and fanciful face and body paintings created by Roxbury’s Mysterious Gypsy Lady Katerina Von Marvelina for each youthful event
attendee.
To capture the spirit of these mystical and mysterious proceedings, Assistant Library Director Alice Iacovelli transformed the Roxbury Library into a magical and eery Halloween environment, inhabited by flaming cauldrons, witches’ brooms, hats, and shoes, and spider-laden cobwebs, complemented by Library Director Dian Seiler’s festive harvest-themed decorations of colorful pumpkins, both orange and white, and unusually shaped gourds of the batwing and birdhouse varieties.
Seasonal refreshments of cider, apple juice, apples, pumpkin bread, and apple cake contributed an additionally authentic touch to Saturday’s festivities.
