Celebrating Dia de los Muertos at Octavia Fellin Public Library

The Octavia Fellin Public Library invited the community in for a Sugar Skull Decorating Party Oct. 22.  It was part of their preparation for Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, which begins this year on Oct. 31 and ends Nov. 2.

To the eyes of someone living in another country, the movie was equal parts hilarious, awkward and at points, completely mystifying.

“We both work together. We do men and ladies watch bracelets, bowguards, bracelets [anywhere from one-half-inch wide to five-inches wide], buckles, bolo ties, and concho belts. We do a little bit of rings and earrings, too,” he said.
