Ready...Set...Roll! The third annual Pumpkin Races will roll at noon Saturday, Oct. 25 in downtown Princeton. This year’s event, which is sponsored by the Optimist Club of Princeton, will bring together people of all ages to see who has built the fastest pumpkin around. The race tracks will be set up on the corner of Main and Marion streets, between the Clark House and Brandy’s Hallmark Store. The entry fee is three canned goods for each pumpkin entry, which will be donated to the Bureau County Food Pantry. There are rules to this race however, and those who break the rules will have their pumpkin smashed. Rules include: no motors, axle must go through the pumpkin, and the pumpkin must be real. The pumpkin race referee will be the final judge. Wheels and axles can be purchased at Gustafson Ace Hardware, Tractor Supply Co. and Walmart. Attendees are welcome to get into the spirit and wear their Halloween costume. IV Scene file photo

With all the different Halloween parties coming up, I thought you might be in need of some appetizers to go along with all the fun.
Knorr Spinach Dip 1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed (do not use fresh) 1 1/2 cup sour cream 1 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmann’s) 1 4-ounce package Knorr vegetable soup mix 1 8-ounce can water chestnuts, finely chopped 3 green onions, finely chopped Loaf of pumpernickel bread Squeeze spinach until dry. In medium bowl, stir together spinach, sour cream and soup mix. Add finely chopped water chestnuts and green onions. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. Cut slice from top of round loaf of pumpernickel bread. Hollow out loaf to leave shell to contain dip. Use bread removed from shell and top slice to cut into bite size pieces. Butter inside of bread shell. Fill loaf with dip and place on platter and surround with bread pieces and a variety of raw vegetables. After the dip is eaten, enjoy the dip soaked bread shell as well.
Olive Cheese Puffs 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon paprika Dash of cayenne pepper
40 medium size pimiento stuffed Manzanilla olives, well drained Preheat oven to 400°. Place cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl and blend with an electric mixer on low speed until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour, salt, paprika and cayenne pepper and blend well. Working with 1 heaping teaspoon of dough at a time, mold dough around an olive and place it on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough and olives have been used. Bake puffs for 13 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned. Using a metal spatula, transfer to a rack to cool or serve them warm on a platter.

Place pineapple and 2 tablespoons juice in a large bowl (set the remaining juice aside for glaze). Add 1 egg, bread crumbs and pepper in pineapple. Combine sausage and beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan.
Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 12 to 15 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Meanwhile in a large skillet, combine glaze ingredients and reserved pineapple juice. Add meatballs. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, cook and stir for 5 to 10 minutes or until heated through. Makes 2 dozen.

Serve immediately with chips. Refrigerate leftovers.
