And a special thanks to my "legs" person that day Cindy...I thank you for saving me soooo many steps you were Great! And of course I can't forget the before the event helpers either! Hats off to M.E. "The Parachute & Folder Queen" & Gina "The Hole Punching Queen" to thousands of pages! Each family recieved a folder with 26 pages of info, pictures, etc. One family wrote that after our event they went to a "civil war museum" and The Family that attended our event knew more info than the folks running the museum knew! Too funny! Homeschoolers rule! This was after the event right before we tore down our little camp.
The guys having "Coffee" it was a HUGE thing to have a cup of coffee back then! It was running 10.00 a pound and that is not the equvilant to our ten dollars! At the end of the day we did our Letterboxing class. Some may wonder why letterboxing? Well it actually started in the 1860's in England so it was time appropriate. And we were in a park so.... We raffled off a letterbox. And also raffled off some civil war coloring books I made. Then one family won the drawing to be able to hide the Wonderland letterbox. We had a great time! THis many folks were still in attendance after 6 hours. Thanks again to all that participated. |
Thanks to ALL the familes(238) folks that participated in our Civil War Expo! Also A HUGE THANKS to MISS ELLIE, CORPORAL LEWIS and LIEUTENANT KING for being avaialable that day! Miss Ellie and Corporal Lewis from Arkansas had a fantastic time! And our Homeschool Event made front page in our town! The creek seemed to be the big hit for the kids. Many were barefooted and playing there. And it was such a blessing to see the children enjoying the toys they made that day. The litte girls were toting around their yarn dolls and the boys were flying their parachutes. One boy tied his yarn doll to the paprachute and had great fun sending his yarn doll into the sky to ride the parachute, so cute! And I am sure no child there will forget the opportunity to actually shot the civil war guns! Each soldier went thru 120 rounds!
