Ghostly ghouls gasp as Clachan Guy burnt
SKELETONS, mummies and scary creatures gathered at Clachan’s combined Hallowe’en and bonfire celebration.
The evening’s fun, in Clachan village hall, last Friday, started with a fancy dress parade before two judges announced the following winners: prettiest: Matilda Butterfly, ugliest: Wee, Willie Winkie, scariest: the mummy, most original: the bug, funniest: ghostbusters, best child: skeleton baby, best adult: mock policeman with speedgun, best overall the balloons dress.
A series of party games filled the hall while burgers were cooked and soup heated before the fire was lit.
Games included a variation on a three-legged race.
Competitors were joined by each biting, not too firmly on a red liquorice shoe lace, they had to run the legth of the hall while connected.
Another low cost game, which proved much fun, was wrapping a willing victim in toilet paper to create a mummy with a prize for the best creation.
As rain continue to hold off, the fun moved outside where enthusiastic adults lit the fire and let off fireworks.
