Bookstore hosts two children’s events
(Hamilton, NY – Oct. 2014) The Colgate Bookstore will host two Halloween events for children at the end of October in the Class of 2003 Events Room (third floor) at 3 Utica Street. In addition to its annual Halloween Party, the Bookstore will offer a slower-paced and candy-free program for children and parents preferring a less spooky Halloween option.
Both events are free and open to the public.
Saturday, Oct. 25 from 10 to 11 a.m. – Halloween Stories Children’s Program
Please join us (with or without costume) for a gentle story-time featuring the best new Halloween books of 2014. We’ll also make a non-scary craft and have healthy snack options (no candy). The stories are mainly geared towards ages 3-6. When you attend the program, you’ll receive a coupon for 20 percent off this program’s featured books.
