Picture books hang out with Heldercon raffle baskets at the Berne Library. Everyone is invited to enjoy a fun day at the Berne Town Park for the Incredible Heldercon on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The third Incredible Heldercon, brought to you by the Berne Public Library’s Heldercon volunteer squad, is mere hours away. Do you have your costume ready? Are you looking for entertaining activities for children and adults to enjoy?
Is that a yes? Then swoop on down and join this free family-friendly event full of magic, games, and adventures.
Super Heroes, Villains, Minions and Storm Troopers are tending to final details before swarming the Berne Town Park for some cosplay action. Be a “Guardian of the Galaxy” for the day and enter the costume contest.
Wait, there’s more! You can see hula-hoopers, visit the Star Wars tent, try out the Superhero Training Course, and team up for a scavenger hunt.
Are there going to be local vendors, you ask? Indeed, replies the mysterious voice behind the curtain. Plus raffles and prizes and a bounce house.
What about demos and such? You betcha. A K9 unit, magic show, Balloon Animals with Bowey,and the popular Heldercon: “Now smile for the camera” photo booth.
Food, how about food? Yes, indubitably. Available for purchase, food there will be. So, here’s a little tip.
Wear a costume or come as you are. Everyone is invited to enjoy a fun day at the Berne Town Park for the Incredible Heldercon on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Story Time
With tips coming fast and fabulous, how about tipping your toes into story time on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 10:30 a.m. Story time’s half hour early literacy campaign offers stories, movement and a craft. This week’s theme is the letter A. To the five and under story time visitors, bring something to the library that begins with A.
Hint: apple, ankle, alien. Or maybe think of what animals or words begin with A and bring them along to share. More hints: aardvaark, alligator, aaaachooo. Story time, an all around auspicious adventure.
