  1. Game after Cloving

    Share Share Post
    Two people catch the end of a stick about 5 ft. long and each man would have a stick in the other hand they would be blindfolded. Then this conversation would take place
    A. Where are you Jack
    B. Im here in the dark
    A. If you die before I die let you have that trying to hit him. There was great fun when they hit each other. This game was always played the night after the "Cloving" when the workers were given a "night."
