WITCHES, AND GOBLINS, AND GHOSTS
OH MY!!
It was so much fun to see all the Trick-or-Treaters out and about on Saturday night. Some of them were soooooo cute, some were realllllly scary, and some were downright funny! And wasn't it a bootiful night, too? I went down to the Halloween dinner at the United Methodist Church and took some pictures of the kids coming in for dinner. Every year the Methodist Church provides a free Halloween dinner to trick-or-treaters and their families so that the families can have a good meal before the sugar overload begins!

This workshop is designed to assist those researchers who are unsure of how to locate their family's history online. So if you are new to the Internet and would like assistance in this area, please stop by and join us in our free workshop. Also, for those visitors that prefer to research their ancestors through more conventional means, the library's Genealogical Reference Room will be open at this time, and assistance will be provided by society members in this area as well. Our society meets on the second Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm, and our meeting location alternates every other month between the Otoe County Museum of Memories in Syracuse, and the Morton-James Public Library in Nebraska City.
