(About 10 people would go around at the same time)\u003cbr\u003eThere were several pieces of colored construction paper taped to the floor \u003cbr\u003eforming a large circle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Alot of the papers were blank but other papers each had a number written on them that each corresponded with a numbered cake.\u003cbr\u003eWhoever was in charge also ran the record player and as soon as the record started to play, we would \"walk\" around the circle, stepping from paper to paper until the record was stopped...and then we had to remain on the paper that we had landed on.\u003cbr\u003eIf we were lucky there was a number on that paper and we won the cake with the same number!\u003cbr\u003eNew papers would then be taped onto\u003cbr\u003ethe floor to replace the old ones and the cakewalk would continue with a new group of participants. \u003cbr\u003eThe process would be repeated until all of the cakes were gone. \u003cbr\u003eWe always came home with 2-3 cakes because we had a large family and all of us participated!\u003cbr\u003eI remember that \"Cakewalks\" were also a part of our family reunions, school functions and church activities....all of them were treasured childhood memories for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto credit goes to Lori Holt.
