Party in the Upside Down
Monday, April 15, 6 – 7:30 p.m.
Lexington Park Library
Something strange is going on at the Lexington Park Library. We’re hosting a Stranger Things party and paying homage to all things ‘80s. Bring back that retro vibe by foraging through your local thrift shop for ‘80s clothing and memorabilia, and arrive dressed in costume to receive a small prize. And, no Stranger Things party would be complete without waffles, ‘80s inspired snacks, Dungeons & Dragons, a mystery to solve, a killer photo booth, and trivia. All ages are welcome. But, please remember Stranger Things is full of spooky, creepy fun, and it may be too scary for little ones.
