Followup on library lecture on haunted Wisconsin

During my chat with the director of the library this afternoon, we discussed the lecture Tuesday night. It turns out that we already have a sound system, but the battery has to be fully charged in advance and no one thought of it until too late.
Note to self ...
Also, they counted a turnout of 154 people -- a definite record for such an event -- and lots of participants were teens, a group we are trying to attract but who have shown little interest in previously planned activities. I guess ghosties and beasties is the way to go for the adolescent crowd.

That is supposed to be a ghostie, not the librarian who is a lovely woman.

I think anything with the supernatural will attract more people. Think about Salem, MA. That town is dead 11 months a year. But come Halloween? Its the place to be!

And it was a very young crowd. I felt old being 24.
