Calling all ghouls! Halloween is approaching and the Pember Library and Museum and the Slate Valley Museum are teaming up for pre-Halloween fun. Zombie Fest takes place on First Friday, October 4, from 7 to 9 pm at both museums. Zombie Walk VI assembles at the Pember for the 8 pm march to the Slate Valley Museum.

“We expect a large Zombie mob this year,” said Mary King, Pember board president. “And we are prepared to feed and rally them for the 8 o’clock Walk and invasion of the Slate Valley Museum.”

Both museums are planning organized events this year, with activities, crafts, treats, costume judging, prizes and surprises! The Pember will provide “Wormy Dogs on a bun,” “Jelly Eyeballs,” “Bloody Punch,” “Spider Peanut Butter Cup Cookies,” and “Meaty Lady Fingers” for hungry ghouls, along with make up stations and Zombie Rock to wake the dead for the Zombie Parade down Main Street to the SVM, where the party will continue with crafts, a costume contest, and more goodies!

PEEPS Diorama Contest @ First Friday

The Pember Museum and Library, Granville New York Posted on by

What would you call a roomful of art dioramas made of dressed up marshmallows and cardboard? We’re calling it the First Annual Pember Peeps Contest and it’s happening on Friday, May 3 for First Friday at The Pember Library and Museum in Granville, NY.

There are a dozen creations already submitted by members of the community, and more coming in daily. Peeps artists will be competing for the “PEEPle’s Choice” Award along with a twenty five dollar gift certificate for Edwards Market. A ballot box will be available for the public to cast their votes. To name a few of the themes: Peeper Museum, Story time with Miss Peeps and Peep-pei.

“Peeps art is very popular nationwide, and it’s really amazing how ordinary marshmallow figures get sculpted, dressed, back dropped and creatively arranged to express a theme,” said Ardyce Bresett, Pember Library Director. “It is family-friendly fun for all ages. Be sure to mark your calendar. Power to the Peeps…”

First Friday is May 3, from 7 to 9 pm and is a free event. A music play list will be provided.
