FALL FESTIVAL - AUTUMN HARVEST PARTY NEWSLETTER

HOST A FALL FESTIVAL OR HARVEST PARTY

fall tablewareA table centerpiece of apples, pears, and grapes, and a big red apple  will help carryout your harvest theme. A farmer carries your invitation neatly folded in his hip pocket. Make the farmer by cutting a yellow straw hat, green coat., blue trousers, and brown shoes from construction paper. Fit them together and paste on a 4 by 6 inch sheet of heavy brown paper. Cut a ˝ inch slit along the farmer's waistline and tuck the invitation into it.

As the guests arrive, give each girl a Pilgrim Bonnet and each boy a Pilgrim Hat. To make a sunbonnet, cut a 6 inch square of crepe paper and a strip of crepe paper 8 inches wide and 18 inches long. Sew the strip around three sides of the square, and attach ribbons tie under the chin. For the hats, cut round open brims out of cardboard and paste yellow paper over and under them. The hats do not need crowns.

Divide your guests into harvest teams for an apple relay race. The apples, laid on the floor two or three feet apart and in rows, must be picked up and placed in baskets set behind the starting line.

After this race, the guests may enjoy coloring outlines of farm pictures, or making vegetable animals. Each group of four should have a small table to work on. You can show them a curious animal which you say you have found n your garden. It may have a summer squash body, a small potato head, green tomato feet, and a long radish or carrot tail, all held together with toothpicks. Give each guest vegetables and toothpicks to make their own animal. Have someone judge the best animal and give a prize for it.

Call the guest to the dining room with a dinner bell. Seat them at a table spread with Colorful Party Supplies. Potato salad, hot dogs, carrots, milk pumpkin pie, and candy corn would make a good harvester’s dinner.

Decorate the outside of your porch with a Welcom banner.

Idea: You can plant your own pumpkin patch to decorate your Fall buffet table.
