Spookyville wasn't the only fun event this fall. As the harvest season was coming to an end, it was time for the Harvest Games. Unsurprisingly, most of these took place at the Brown farm. These games were open for people of all ages, so there were games everyone could enjoy.
There was no surprise that pumpkins would be involved in some games. For starters, there was a ring toss game where people tried to toss rings onto pumpkin stems. Unlike more traditional ring tosses, this game couldn't be rigged. A more challenging version involved using hula hoops to encircle the whole pumpkin. And of course, there was a jack-o'-lantern carving contest.
One traditional harvest game was bobbing for apples. Though considering several Animalians had a natural advantage at that game, a more challenging version was also included: having the apple dangle from a string. Though some Animalians still found it easy to eat the apples.
Hay was also an important part of the harvest so it was also part of the Harvest Games. There was a hay bale toss, but unlike the Farmhand Competition, the bales were smaller and not so hard to throw. An interesting challenge was a variation of the old 'find a needle in a haystack' challenge. Though instead of needles, the prizes were things like wrapped candies, whistles, and coins were hidden in the haystacks. There were a lot of kids who were covered in pieces of hay by the end of the day.
And no Harvest Games would be complete with a corn maze. There was a limit to how tall the corn could grow, so the taller Animalians didn't have as much of a hard time with it. Much like the snow-based maze built last winter, contestants tried to finish the maze in the fastest time possible. Though anyone who tried to bulldoze their way through the maze like what had happened last winter would be disqualified.
The Harvest Games were a fun side attraction for Spookyville. It certainly kept the fall festive spirit going, especially as people were waiting for the announcement of who won the the Mister and Miss Farmhand Competition.
