Program Recommendation
by Sharon Crotser-Toy 20 Oct '22

20 Oct '22

Hello, all! The St. Ignace Library crowd enjoyed supernatural tales, research, and experiences presented by Tim Ellis and Brad Blair of Yoopernatural Haunts<https://yoopernaturalhaunts.com/>. Their presentation was both appropriately creepy and very professional. I was impressed! Lots of historical research added an especially intriguing element to their presentation. Highly recommended if you're looking for something spooky. (About this time, I usually am!) -Sharon Sharon CrotserToy Director St. Ignace Public Library 110 West Spruce Street St. Ignace, MI 49781 (906) 643-8318
