  • Soup Bowl
  • Witch’s Cauldron
  • Decorations to make the space look like a witch’s house or cave

Instructions

  1.  Decorate the space to look like a witch’s house or cave, with the cauldron over a fake-fire or sitting in the middle of a witch’s table, ready to serve. 
  2. Cut-out Halloween shapes, such as ghosts, skeletons, vampires, black cats, bats and pumpkins and place them inside the cauldron until it is almost full.  Place several soup bowl’s near the cauldron, with a straw next to each bowl. 
  3. Using the straw as a vacuum, each contestant must move as many shapes as they can from the cauldron to the soup bowl within 30 seconds.  The contestant wins one piece of Halloween candy for every shape he or she gets into the soup bowl.

The Rising of Gouverneur Morris

Gouverneur Morris, American minister to the court of Louis XVI, was considerably enriched, at the close of the reign of terror, by plate, jewels, furniture, paintings, coaches, and so on, left in his charge by members of the French nobility, that they might not be confiscated in the sack of the city.

Ghost of Sunrise Rock

The Ghost of Sunrise Rock

Some years before the outbreak of the Civil War, a man with his wife and daughter took up their residence in a log cabin at the foot of Sunrise Rock, near Chattanooga, Tennessee. It seemed probable that they had known better days, for the head of the household was believed to get his living through “writin’ or book-larnin’,” but was fairly useless at hunting and farming.

Strangers

Wallen’s Ridge, a rough eminence about a dozen miles from Chattanooga, Tennessee, was once an abiding place of Cherokee Indians, among whom lived Arinook, their medicine-man, and his daughter. The girl was pure and fair, and when a passing hunter from another tribe saw her one day at the door of her father’s home he was so struck with her charm of person and her engaging manner that he resolved not to return to his people until he had won her for his wife.
