October 17 was Ohlone's Harvest Festival, an annual event to raise money for the school's farm. As part of the hospitality committee, I volunteered to bake something for the festival. I first baked some pumpkin applesauce cookies from a recipe I cut out of the newspaper. They tasted okay, but I felt not yummy enough for someone to buy. So I made pumpkin bread, which turned out better. But based on what I later saw at the tables, I'm guessing my bread didn't get bought. There was a lot more decadent, enticing stuff there, like M&M cookies, cupcakes, etc.
Each class organized a table with an activity. Maile's class did a make-your-own paper lantern activity. Maile got her face painted, of course. And Beck played a chopstick game. He started out kind of slow and shaky, but by the end he was moving kernels of corn. There was also live music, which the kids enjoyed. There was a boy playing the guitar who looked to only be maybe 8 yrs old.
