A colorful mural of some 108 inches plus, depicting an autumn country scene, serves as a backdrop for the October window display at the Valley Falls Historical Society museum.
A deserted barn near a small pond, suggestive as a haven for Hallowe'en pranksters, bears no evidence of trickery or witchery, no blood curdling sounds from within and no gory sentinels on the outside.
A distant crop of pumpkins is enhanced by a close-up pyramid of a solitary pumpkin, surrounded by cousins with funny painted faces.
To complete the scene, a regal clan of jet black cats with glaring orange eyes, accompanied by some playful friends, make their presence known by sight, not by yowling meows.
No headless horseman, no Ichabod Crane, No Sleepy Hollow invades the tranquil scene. Even the wise old owl perched above the quiet view emits not an audible hoot. All visible characters are gentle harbingers of a less sedative atmosphere with the approaching fun day of tricks or treats and costumes for Hallowe'en events.
The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9. Admission is free.
