Country Cake Walks Raise Money and are Fun

Cake walks are popular in many country communities. They provide entertainment for a crowd and raise money for worthy causes. Here is the way to set the stage for a jolly evening.

Draw the face of a clock, as large as possible, on the floor. Write numbers representing the day’s 12 hours near the outer rim of the circle. Draw a line on both sides of a number to the center, making triangles. Repeat until there are 12 triangles of equal size.

The master of ceremonies brings out a home-baked cake to tempt everyone with the prize someone will win. Twelve people walk at a time. They pay for the chance to try for the cake.
