Next stop on your Bluffton Halloween tour is the public library
You want to put stop at the Bluffton Public Library on your Thursday Halloween schedule. That's because Bluffton library teen volunteers host their annual haunted library fun house.

And, the Bluffton Icon photographer, Fred-in-Stein, will take photos of Halloweeners for use on the Icon.
Here are details:

Crafts and snacks, in the youth services room, offer opportunities for youngsters to create marshmallow ghost pops, decorate pumpkin cookies and make sucker ghosts.
Refreshments are available at the youth services desk. The menu includes hot chocolate, chocolate covered pretzels and green juice.
Games and coloring takes place on the main floor. Small prizes will be awarded for several games including:
• Stick the Bowtie on Mr. Bones
