Our local museum hosted a Pioneer Day in August. They churned butter, made cornbread, built cornhusk dolls (which proved to be much harder than Paul or I would have guessed!) and in all the heat and humidity really felt badly for those who lived prior to A/C!

(No, I don't remember what I am looking at over there in the pic, and I have tried to get the pic rotated to no avail1 Sorry!)
