Annie's Field of Jack-O'-Lanterns

Halloween Eve at the Annie Cooper Boyd House was filled with Jack-O'-lanterns all alight, scavenger hunts, music and laughter. Mr. Reed's class from the Elementary School came the previous afternoon and carved their pumpkins on the front lawn, perching them on the porch rail before they left. At dusk, the tea lights inside were all lit creating a festive but eery feeling at this very old house. 

Two SHHS trustees, Deanna Lattanzio and Bethany Deyermond, had fun creating a scavenger hunt outside and inside the museum, but it was Halloween Eve when the real fun began, with parents and children working feverishly together to check off every one of the 27 items on the list that included everything from a bell to a butter churn.

Music was provided by our own Nancy Remkus and light refreshments were available to all the ghosts, goblins and witches who graced us with their presence.
