We need your help! Halloween on Franklin 2013 has asked the Arts Council to help with the Lil’ Monsters Bash on October 26th (multiple time slots available). We are currently looking for storytellers to help us read spooky tales or frightful poems to kids. Stories may be original or a story brought from home. The target age group for the tales will be in the 7-12 year age range. All stories must be approved by the Arts Council, so RSVP now by calling us at (812) 422-2111 or emailing us at info@artswin.org with your name, contact information, and the stories you would like to read.

Other opportunities to volunteer for the Lil’ Monsters Bash include face painting, pumpkin painting, registering pumpkins for the community pumpkin carving contest, and passing out trick or treat bags to all the kiddos!

As part of our assistance with this year’s Halloween on Franklin 2013, we are helping to organize a community pumpkin carving contest!

In order to participate, you will bring your already carved pumpkin to the West Branch Library park for registration (11am – 6pm) and at 8pm cash prizes will be awarded!

Prizes will be awarded by age group. There are NO size requirements or regulations other than it must be a carvedpumpkin. Questions? Call us at (812) 422-2111.
