Halloween Blood Drive is Thursday, Oct. 31

Protect yourself from vampire attacks this year by pre-draining your blood. It’s time again for the annual Halloween-themed Blood Drive sponsored by the Buncombe County Public Library System and the American Red Cross. Feel free to dress up in your favorite Halloween costume (the nurses will be in the spirit). There are also door prizes, treat bags of GOOD candy, pizza (provided by Mellow Mushroom), and potentially more.
