Page 5 NEW LIFE TODAY Volume 5, Issue 35 Page 6 NEW LIFE TODAY If you have enjoyed the treats at the sweet table over the past few months, please take a moment or two to thank the following folks for their generous gifts of sweets: Suzie Andersen, Trudy Nulle, Jane Triplett, Karen and Dave Loria, Bunnie and Jim Davis, Kay Pallas, Patrick and Sheila Orman, Sue Hobbs, the Howards, Carol Bennett, Connie Martin, Pat Kennelly, Marilyn DeVries, Florence Landrum, Jan Courts, Jan and Bob O’Connor, Bette White, Debbie Simmons, Natalie Hicks, Jack Chandler, Madeline Lockard, The first jack-o-lanterns were actually made from turnips. The world’s largest pumpkin weighed in at 1872 pounds. Americans purchase over 20 million pounds of Candy Corn each year. The number one candy of choice is Snickers followed by Reese’s, Kit-Kat’s and M&M’s. In Alabama it is illegal to dress up as a priest. October 30 is National Candy Corn Day. While pumpkins are typically orange, they can also be green, white, red and gray. Volume 5, Issue 35 Zadia Fletcher, Lauren Otten, Marty Trone, Mary Webb, Stephen Ministers, Michele Lang, Sherry Collins, Mary Sloan, Rock of Ages Small Group, and Barb Newman. Many of these donated more than one time. If YOU enjoy partaking of the treats, perhaps you would care to participate in donating one Sunday. There is a sign -up sheet at the table and all you need to do is fill your name in on the date convenient for you and then bring your treats on that date. It is really fun to watch the treats being enjoyed. Jane Triplett has agreed to be the coordinator for the Sweet Table. If you have any questions about helping, please see Jane and she will clue you in. Many thanks to Jane for assuming this responsibility of coordinating! Magician Harry Houdini died on October 31. Have leftover candy? Save it. Hard candy lasts for a year while white chocolate can last up to two. More candy is sold on October 28 than any other day of the year. In America in the 1800′s, the end of the harvest season was celebrated by wearing costumes, eating sweets, and playing practical jokes on one another. The tradition of Halloween pranks started to turn ugly in the 1930′s and a movement began to substitute kids going door to door for candy. The color orange represents the harvest and the color black represents the darkness at Halloween.
