Halloween Happening 2016

So Halloween this year ended up on a Monday, which sinks. This meant that Happenings was on the Friday of the previous week. If you're new here and don't know what Happenings is, it's my school's little Halloween festival. Each club/honor society gets a booth and of course there's a haunted house. 

With the usual crowd of honor society and club members. Going down the line we had a theremin (it looks like a wooden box with a loop and an antenna), the sound effect gourds, our set of Little Bits, and the remote controlled claw. Of course we had fan favorite high sensor! I mainly worked with the high sensor and claw game. Little kids really like to climb on things. My sources say that the haunted house wasn't all that and needed improvement. The big hit at our booth was probably the height sensor. Some adults wanted to try it and know how it works. it simple really, it measures the high to the ground then when someone steps under it it measures the height to the top of a person's head. it then subtracts the second measurement from the first and boom height. We quickly ran out of prizes from kids playing with the machines.
