We had another successful Kid's Pioneer Day at our authentic log cabin. There were 45 plus kids in attendance along with several of their parents. The weather was most cooperative providing sunshine and a cool breeze. Three boys from Harlan were impressed with their Lincoln log construction (one had to run to his campsite to get his own camera) and our local outdoorsman, Lon, was another big hit this year with his fire making skills and log sawing. Girls seem to continue to actually enjoy washing clothes the pioneer way and dressing up in long dresses. Former school teacher, Lois, filled in this year as our one room school teacher and there were funs games to play as well. Bags of jelly beans were given out to game participants. Homemade ice cream and even homemade butter skills were given with samples to keep . Ron & Joyce again provided fry bread and stew for everyone's taste buds. Another teacher showed off her natural dye making skills along with the homemade ice cream. Looking forward to adding something new to next year's event along with the standby favorites! It is an event being held every last Saturday in August for those needing to put it on their calendars.
