Pumpkin Patch library display dedicated to Don Ochs

Submitted by admin on Tue, 10/16/2012 - 11:00pm

SOLON– It’s Halloween eve, and scarecrow and Mr. Bones are decorating the cornfield with bright streams of orange and black crepe paper. Gaily colored lanterns swing from the corn stalks, and a bonfire sends strange shadows against the moon. Garlands of bittersweet twine around the old cider press, as the apples turn into spicy cider. The smell of pumpkin pie drifts on the smoky wind. A crow perches on the Book of Spells, as a giant owl sits silently in the shadows watching pumpkin man roasting hot dogs for the party. A haunted mirror hangs on the old barn door reflecting the festivities.
