October window displays

by Betty Jane Wilson, society president

A traditional haunted house painting draped in black cloth overlooks an autumn scene of brillant colors shared by wildflowers, dry grasses and harvested pumpkins of various sizes imbedded in fallen leaves bid farewell to their summer sojourn and signal the fall season with its unique approach to winter.

A bright orange backdrop invaded by a host of spiders imprisoned in their perfectly formed webs, a collection of jack-o'-lanterns, black cats with glowing eyes, antique noisemakers and the inevitable witch's pointed hat warning of the eve of spooks, goblins, and trick or treaters complete the October window display of the historical society museum.

Miniature United States flags line the veterans' window featuring a liberty poster, military service flag enhanced by a background of blue honoring Nov. 11, Veterans Day, formerly Armistice Day.

The society museum will be open Saturday, Oct. 26, at 10 a.m.
