The cake walk is similar to musical chairs; only when the music stops whoever is standing in front of the cone with the number called by the announcer wins a cake, pie or other baked sweet.

SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- The base chapel hosted a harvest festival at the 4th Medical Group soccer field Oct. 31. The event featured games, a costume parade, a cake walk, jousting, sumo wrestling and music. The chapel staff organized this community outreach event so families could have fun in a safe environment. The event allowed children to enjoy Halloween outside the normal door-to-door routine. This trick-or-treat alternative was open to the Seymour Johnson community, who were able to bring friends and neighbors as guests to the event.
