Show let's Have A Party! i The perfect reason for giving an October party is Halloween, the happy celebration that like Christmas Christ-mas comes with built-in party cus-: cus-: toms and decorations. I If you're planning a Halloween party, whether for adults or children, make the most of the ; ' pumpkin, the Orange-Crush Party 1 Bureau suggests. Jack-o-lanterns 5 are not only traditional but make , ' wonderful party decorations with their grotesque faces spookily lit fmm witllin. Pumpkins can also s.erye as table I decorations, too. Hollow the pumpkin pump-kin as you would for a jack-o-lantern, place a small vase inside, fill it with flowers for an attractive attrac-tive centerpiece. Or cut several ! small holes in the pumpkin around i its sides and fill with straw flowers s a centerpiece reminiscent of old j barrels and strawberry plants, j Pumpkins can also be used as : serving pieces. Large ones will i serve as fruit or salad bowls, i Pumpkin and salad can be chilled I. before serving. Small pumpkins can be used as serving dishes for potato chips or crackers. Be sure to line the pumpkin with wax paper pa-per or aluminum foil so the chips or crackers will not absorb moisture mois-ture from the pumpkin. For games at your Halloween party, the Orange-Crush Party Bureau suggests pin-the-tail-on-? the-donkey. Why not, since this is 5 an election year, pin the tail on t the elephant, too? For light refreshments, serve I the traditional donuts and cider or t to pick up the traditional color of j orange, serve an orange soft drink. |
