Trunk or Treat!!- Thursday Oct. 25

Hey all. 
Well, it's that time of year again.  Time for candy and costumes.  Halloween is right around the corner.

Here is a special program that the Massillon Rec Center is hosting.  Trunk or Treat is where kids 13 and under can come to the Rec Center parking lot and go around "trick or treating" in the safety of the parking lot.  That's where the "trick" part comes but the "trunk" part comes from the cars that fill the parking lot with their trunks filled with candy. 

The owners of the cars are going to dress them up as well as dressing themselves up.  We at the Massillon Public Library will be there with my 1970 Volkswagen Beetle that will be dressed up, but what it is will be a surprise.  The event will start at 6:00pm and go all the way until 7:30pm.  SO mark you calendars- October 25, 2012; THIS THURSDAY.

So come on down, bring your kids and enjoy this night of fun, safety and most importantly CANDY!
Hope to see ya there,

Author Visit at Next Writer's Group October 8th

Hello again,

I come with exciting news for you.  On Monday, October 8^th, at 5:00 p.m, the Massillon Public Library's Writer's Group will be hosting a free author visit with guest speaker and author, Paul Pusateri.

Here is part of the press release from the event: 

While living in Ecuador as an exchange student, Pusateri, captured by the romanticism of Latin America, discovered that love transcends time and geographical borders. Pilar’s Miracle, a riveting story which heralds the power of forgiveness and redemption, was born out of his love for the people and beauty of Ecuador.

During this program, Pusateri will share some of his experiences with the group, plus valuable writing tips and techniques. There will also be time for attendees to ask questions.

This free event will take place in the second floor meeting room where the Writer's Group is usually held and is open to the public.  Also, you don't need to register so come on down and check out this exciting event.
