Thursday one of the most boring days in recent Genoa
City history, with Murphy Chancellor's Harvest Fair
still fresh in our minds, I thought back to when
there was the Harvest Ball. What, you forgot? Well
no wonder. It was an affair to forget.

"Management is seriously thinking about putting an
end to these galas. They don't attract the clientele
we're used to having here and are nothing like the
balls I remember having," ColonRoom maitre 'd Jock
Strap told the Genoa City News this week as the
city's first Harvest Ball kicked off.
"Look around! Is this not the most pathetic group
you've ever seen? It's nothing like the Masquerade
Ball. Remember? Now that was a ball! And whoever
heard of a harvest anything in September? Isn't
harvest time supposed to be in late October? Why
didn't they call it the Back to School Ball, or the
Kiddies Ball? Look at those damn kids. Who let them
in here?" Strap lamented.
Looking around the ColonRoom it was evident Strap
knew what he was talking about. Party-goers included
John 'Yawn' Abbott, his newest house guest Gloria
Fisher, his son Jack, the woman he thinks is his
daughter, Ashley Carlton and her brood, Brad and
Abby Carlton.
Diane Jenkins and her son, Kyle, were there quite by
accident along with Michael Baldwin, his love of the
week Lauren Fenmore, Fred and Anita Hodges and their
daughter Brittany accompanied by hunkmonkey J.T.
Hellstrom. Also in attendance were Victor and Nikki
Newman, Katherine Sterling, Arthur Hendricks and
Sterling's maid who is rarely let out of the
Chancellor mausoleum, Ether Valentine. Looking like
lost sheep, Paul Williams and Bobby Marsino made up
the rear end of this horse's ass called a ball.
A combination of Safra/Tuvia products, the strong
odor hanging over the room distracted the real story
slightly. It wasn't who was at the harvest dance -
or whatever the hell it was - but who wasn't.
Of particular concern was the absence of Paul and
Martha Hellstrom. Reported by Ms. Hodges to be on a
"cruise" the parents of part-time frat boy J.T.
Hellstrom have never been seen. Not one to miss
rubbing elbows with the rich and famous, Neil and
Dru Winters, their daughter Lily nor Lily's pal
Sierra NoLastName either were not invited or chose
not to attend. Likewise, Dr. Olivia Winters was
nowhere to be seen.
Fresh from a trip to Deer Valley where she tried on
Chancellor Enterprises CEO Elliot Hampton for size,
Jill Abbott was too tired from an early evening in
the sack and couldn't keep her date with Jack
Abbott.
Busy practicing in front of the mirror how to be a
stripper, Sharon Newman planned to arrive late at
the ball when husband Nick got so turned on by the
seductive moves they had to grease his love stick.
