#5 Cookouts and Pumpkin man

The event is a cookout behind Maplewood Crest in the open lot.  The cookout starts at 4:30 and goes well into the night.  The weather is cool, around 60 to 75 degrees with a slight breeze coming from the north.

There is  new business.  Flannigan's Grocery sits next to the art shop/coffee shop.  There is a pumpkin truck that has pulled-up to the side where deliveries are made.  The truck has an open back and is full of pumpkins of all sizes.

If you are to start the interaction with the other character, do so in blog #5.  If you are not starting the interaction, you should write your character's #5 blog and then respond to the other character in blog #6.

Remember:

• What relationships is your character developing?
• What's your character's history--why are they here?
• How can you continue to hook your reader?
