Hearts may be broken now that Anti-Valentine bash is canceled
Teens who planned on protesting all things chocolate and mushy at an Anti-Valentine’s Day Party will have to find another outlet for their angst.
The event, originally slated for Saturday, was canceled Monday due to what interim library director LeeAnn Briese said was a misunderstanding about the spirit and intent of the program, planned for ages 12-18 who don’t get excited about the holiday.
What a Shame
It’s a shame this event was canceled. Not all of us buy into the “you-must-spend-money-on-me” mentality of Valentine’s Day. However, the marketing was horrible and the activities could have been slightly improved! Seeing who can write the meanest break-up letter? Our world isn’t all peaches and cherries, but come on. Couldn’t you do more than teach young people how to be mean? We’re all really good at that on our own. Also, wearing black is a really awesome idea, however why can’t people show up looking excited and happy?
