The War Memorial invites families to a truly Spectacular Spooktacular this Halloween season. Costumes are encouraged as kids and families join us for an afternoon brimming with festive activities.
Join the War Memorial & Next Chapter Books for an engaging author talk, just in time for the holiday season. We welcome Author Bonnie Jo Campbell, in conversation with local author Kelsey Ronan, for an in-depth discussion of her latest book, The Spirits.
Join us at The War Memorial’s Silent Book Club! Bring your current read—no assigned books, no pressure. Settle in, find a cozy spot, and enjoy an hour of peaceful, uninterrupted reading. We’ll kick off with a quick chat to get comfortable, then dive into our books.
Perfect for introverts, book lovers, and anyone looking to unwind.
All are welcome!
