WITTLE'S LITTLE MAGIC SPIN TUB
Eric Beal
Part One
By 7:00 a.m. the town square of Sweet Poppy was
already starting to get full of people. Everyone was
arriving from all the surrounding towns and areas to
attend the annual Sweet Poppy Fall Festival-a time for
all the surrounding communities in the county of
WilfaWaft to gather, set up booths, and to trade or sell
homemade goodies and kick knacks of all kinds. The fall
festival not only attracted locals but people from all over.
The small town of Sweet Poppy was quite proud of their
one hundred year tradition. Every year it was well
advertised and prepared for. This year was especially a
celebration commemorating the one hundred years of
Sweet Poppy Fall Festivals. By 8:30 all game booths,
stands, and the food court was all ready to go.
Sam Hickory was in charge of the animal zoo that
was always right in the middle of the town square.
Donkey and goat rides, chicken egg competitions, a pig
mud contest, and animal feeding pens were just some of
the fun activities at Hickory's Zoo. Crazy Travis
Moonburly was in charge of all game competitions such
as slimy sludge wrestling, mud and water dunking ,
horseshoe throwing, pie eating and anything crazy that
people would be crazy enough to do for prizes.
And then there was Suzell Smellie. Mrs. Smellie
was in charge of all the entertainment for the festival,
which suited her just fine considering Suzell had always
dreamed of being famous, either as an actress, singer, or
dancer. In fact Suzell Smellie loved nothing more than
being in the spotlight and would stop at nothing to be the
center of attention. If there was an opportunity to be seen,
then Suzell made sure she was indeed seen.62
