Join Greg Gerrald as he takes you on
a 28-day journey through many of the delicious and satisfying tastes of the Mediterranean Diet.
Unlike most diets, the Mediterranean Diet doesn't cut out all the good stuff and leave you feeling deprived.
It features a wide variety of foods that are flavorful, healthy, and lower in calories including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, legumes, beans, herbs, spices, and olive oil. Foods eaten in moderation include fish, seafood, poultry, eggs,
and dairy. Desserts and red meat are saved for special occasions.
By following this diet plan, you'll experience first-hand how to enjoy "good taste" and "good for you" at the same time.
Ticket price includes one copy of the book 'Make Every Day Mediterranean' and admission to the event for one participant.

A past-president and current board member of the Crooked Creek Art
League, Karen Larrabee moved to Chapin
13 years ago and feels blessed by the move.
|
|
Karen was born and raised in northern
NJ and loved to draw and paint since “forever, it seems”.
Her awards began in high school where she had a wonderful and encouraging art program. Marietta College, a small, liberal arts school in Marietta, Ohio, lured her to the Midwest. She received a B.A. in art and education and eventually a Master’s
of Liberal learning, (yes, a MA.L.L. degree!) with concentrations in studio art, art history and art education, where her awards continued.
While in Ohio, she married, raised a family and taught art for 30 years until her retirement in 2004, continuing to grow her resume. After her daughter transferred to USC, Karen and her husband, David,
fell in love with the Midlands.
The rest, as they say, “is history”.
So far in SC she has been become a Member of Excellence in the South Carolina Watermedia Society. She has been juried into the Greenwood Arts Festival, the Union Exhibit and the State Fair competition every year she has entered, receiving Patron Purchase Awards at the fair in 2009, 2011 and 2014 and a Merit award in 2017.
She has also won 11 awards from the Crooked Creek Art League’s Juried Exhibitions including the Member's Choice Award in 2014 and First Place Master's
in 2019. Karen says, “I like to define myself as a free-style artist as I love all things creative. I have continuously been exposed to, and engaged in many media and styles and enjoy the freedom to be creative and experiment artistically."

October 31st, 2019

|
Today, on October 31st, doorbells will ring more than any other day of the year.
|
|
National Doorbell Day recognizes the little buzzer, unique tones, and rings that alert us to visitors to our doors every day of the year. More than 41 million American children dress up and trick-or-treat every Halloween. In honor of the workout the door chime will receive, National Doorbell Day recognizes J.Ralph Corbett, the inventor of the first NuTone brand melodious door chime.

NATIONAL CARAMEL
APPLE DAY
|
National Caramel Apple Day on October 31st celebrates a time-honored fall treat. Many of us remember eating caramel apples or making them with family. Whether it was at a fair, carnival or Halloween party, it was a special treat. Sometimes we even made them at home. No matter where we enjoyed them, the memory is a good one.
|
|
Caramel apples go by many names – taffy apples or even candy apples.
They’re made by skewering apples on a stick and then dipping them in hot caramel. We make them extra delicious by rolling them in nuts, chocolate or other candies.
Sheet caramel allows for high production candy apples. The sheets of caramel are wrapped around the apples and then heated to melt the caramel evenly.
The best caramel apples are made with tart crisp apples, such as Granny Smith or Fuji apples. Since apples come into season during the fall, Halloween is the ideal time of year to enjoy caramel apples.
The caramel-apple flavor is also a fall favorite. It finds its way into beverages, cakes, and other desserts. Add caramel to just about any apple recipe for a bit of caramel apple flavor. It also complements savory dishes, such as pork.

NATIONAL KNOCK KNOCK
JOKE DAY
|
National Knock Knock Joke Day is observed annually on October 31st.
This holiday is for jokesters of all ages to share their knock-knock jokes
throughout the day.
Knock knock jokes became a regular part of the Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-in Show in the late 1960′s and early 1970′s.
Children often learn to tell knock-knock jokes as one of their first types of jokes,
at a very young age.
|
|
A little history of the Knock Knock Joke:
1929:
The game of Buff – A child with a stick thumps it on the ground using the following dialogue:
Knock Knock
Who’s There:
Buff
What says, Buff:
Buff says Buff to all his men, and I say Buff to you again.
1934:
The standard knock knock joke format was used in a newspaper humor column:
Knock Knock
Who’s There?
Rufus
Rufus Who?
Rufus the most important part of your house.
1936:
Likely the beginning of popularity for knock-knock jokes.

National Magic Day is observed by
magic lovers across America each year
on October 31st as part of
National Magic Week.
Magic is a performance art that entertains audiences through the creation of illusions of seemingly insurmountable or supernatural feats using natural means. The person performing such entertainment is called a magician or
an illusionist.
Magical displays have more than likely been produced throughout history.
|
|
One of the most renowned magicians was Harry Houdini. Known for his *escapology, Houdini had developed a range of stage magic tricks and made full use of the range of conjuring techniques, including fake equipment and collusion with individuals
in the audience.
His show business savvy was as exceptional as his showmanship.
Scranton, Pennsylvania is home to the Houdini Museum.
* Escapology is the practice of escaping from restraints or other traps.
There are many different types of magic performances which may fall into one of the following categories:
Stage illusions – Parlor magic – Platform magic – Micromagic – Escapology – Pickpocket magic – Mentalism – Theatrical seances – Children’s magic – Online magic tricks – Mathemagic – Corporate magic or trade show magic – Gospel magic – Street magic – Bizarre magic – Shock magic – Comedy magic

On October 31st ghouls and goblins, creatures and strange folk come creeping about the neighborhood seeking favors over trickery. This holiday tradition has become known as Halloween.
Dating back to an ancient pagan harvest festival marking the end of summer and beckoning the beginning of winter, seasons overlapped during Samhain (pronounced sah-win) and revelers believed the worlds of the living and the dead crossed.
|
|
To interact with the spirits, the living would wear costumes and light bright bonfires
to help protect them.
Similar celebrations honoring the dead took place in Roman traditions which were gradually blended and soon replaced the Celtic ceremonies. All Martyrs Day established by Pope Boniface IV in 609 A.D. was eventually moved by Pope Gregory III to November 1 which later became known as All Saint’s Day.
The eve of this celebration became known as All Hallows Eve or Halloween.
Through the Colonial era in America, Halloween celebrations were considered taboo due to religious beliefs.
By the Victorian era, though, Halloween traditions featured fall festivals, parties and foods involving communities and neighborhoods.
