RECAP: BryonySeries Pre-Halloween Party at The Book Market

On Saturday, we held a BryonySeries Pre-Halloween Party at The Book Market in Crest Hill.

The highlight of the event was when owner Jan Staley picked the lucky winner of the BryonySeries crocheted pumpkin decorating contest.



We entertained people in the store with a three-part reading of the BryonySeries version of the Halloween legend "Stingy Jack."

We also distributed treat bags filled with chef-made werewolf kibbles (thank you, Rebekah), Halloween and autumn-themed ribbits (thank you, Cindy), and select BryonySeries books.



We still two or three crocheted pumpkins if anyone would like to decorate one for Halloween.

Pumpkins are free to make and take.

Scroll one more time for a "sneak peek" at what's coming for November.


And here you go! Next month's theme at The Book Market: gratitude.

We invite you to celebrate gratitude with us.

And we also invite you to help us help Santa.

Stay posted for details.

Was that my pumpkin? It looks like it. No name was posted as to the winner.

Jan drew the winner at 1:30 p.m. Saturday as promised and then announced the winner on The Book Market Facebook page on Saturday and then contacted the winner. Her is what Jan wrote: "We have a winner. Pumpkin 11 Jessina M. Stop in and get your pumpkin and prize. Everyone else who entered stop in and get your pumpkin." If you are Jessina M., you should have received a call.
