Borders treats children to ‘Spooktacular’ Halloween

Nearly 20 Bloomington children and their parents journeyed to Borders on Saturday for some pre-Halloween fun.

The event was led by graduate student Jenn Brassil.

Brassil has worked for Borders for four and a half years.

She said that the store works to organize many events for their patrons throughout the year.

“We have the Spooktacular Halloween celebration every year,” she said.

They try to let customers know about the event by telling people in the store and sending out e-mails.

Shawna Roberts, one of the mothers at the event, said that she heard about the event through e-mail. She brought her 4-year-old daughter Paige to the event.

“Her favorite place is the bookstore,” Roberts said. “We usually choose three books: a picture book, a story book and then she chooses one.”
