When leaves are falling and pumpkins thrive We put on offbeat costumes — and drive!
On a delightful October afternoon our club gathered once again to celebrate Halloween with a drive. This year it was a continuous drive, followed by driving games at the Julia Bird reservation in Ipswich. Nine costumed entrants (along with their ghostly horses and spooky grooms) trotted menacingly through woods and fields, deftly negotiating hazards and collecting small pumpkins on the way.
As they reached the end of the continuous drive, they next found themselves facing the second peril: the Cones of Torment. Thankfully, few fell victim to these. Lastly, they were offered the option to improve their scores by accurately dropping those small pumpkins into buckets.
The costumes ranged widely: bees, sunflowers, ER staff, hula girls, Day of the Dead, Opposites, Katniss Catching Fire, and even a witch with her familiar.
At the end of the day, final standings were:
Many thanks for the monstrous efforts of Holly and Nat Pulsifer, Sue Knowles, Eric and Linda Wilking, Judy Gregg, Ellen and Veronica Attridge, Joe Dailey, John Cabot, and a cast of thousands of screaming extras.
