activities for our members to volunteer in. One of these activities is the local haunted house sponsored by the Front Royal Little League. This fundraiser for the little league started when Mr. Bryan Binnix stepped in to save it from plummeting.

them after the haunted house. One example of this was when I told a group of second or third grade girls that I was laying on the floor in the locker room. The response that I received was “You were not, do you know what is on that floor! People these day laying on the floor that is disgusting!” I could not help but laugh because her response sounded like something that an adult would say.

Shelley liked the dress-up,…

Halloween was always one of my favorite holidays. Especially when the leaves start to change colors and it gets colder. That all changed October 20, 1998. It was a cold October night when it all happened. Kayla, Sabrina and I finally decided to go ride some old dirt roads.

I just talked myself out if it and got out of the car. As I got…

Though there are many topics out there to choose from, I chose Halloween as mine. In my research, my main questions are from where and who Halloween first surfaced from and how it was then to what it is now. My thesis is still coming along but it is along the lines of “Halloween’s origin isn’t as ‘sweet’ as we have made it out to be“. My paper will be broken down into many different topics all ranging from: Where and who the ‘holiday’ started from, what was the reason, what was involved, how it…
