16 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, October 23.1991 Autumn Arrives in Hampton Happenings in I lampton by Michelle Balson One of the things I like the most about living out here, is ■the definite change in seasons. 'I must admit I like Fall. The •smell of burning wood. The crispness in the air. The trees that proudly display their amber amber coloured leaves. The kids enjoy it too. This past Thursday the Junior and Senior kindergarten were taking taking a walk through the village. I happened to notice that they had stopped to admire our haunting hallowc'cn display. The smiles on their faces was all it took. I invited them to pick chestnuts. We have one of the only two chestnut trees in the village. I stood and . watched them search for buried treasure under the leaves. A picture docs say a thousand •words. I'm sure you noticed the ••Beavers' annual Pumpkin .Drive taking place in the front •yard of Barb and Henry Pokor- . ski's. There's still some time ■ left to pick that perfect pumpkin, pumpkin, at the cost of a donation. .Help support the growing , needs of these fine young men. The Beavers aren't the only . ones who have been working hard. The Brownies recently completed all the need requirements requirements for the Needle Workers Badge. Just last Tuesday they earned their Cyclist Badge. Congratulations. Just another mention of the desperate need for leaders. First Hampton Cubs have to disband as of October 28th.
