On Tuesday evening at the 4-H Fair the Cabin visitors could learn about games or activities that kept pioneer children amused with Pioneer Lady Erleen (Jody Heaston). With the help of Heaston’s neighbors Emma, Kaitlyn and Ginny Wingau the game of Circle and Rocks was demonstrated. (Photos by Barbara Barbieri)
In the above photo the game of “Graces” or “Sticks & Hoops” was played using two sticks to send a hoop sailing to another player. Object of the game was to teach a young lady how to be graceful in her movements. Another popular game was dropping clothes pins into a bottle.
Above, Erleen demonstrates a “Button Spinner” that could be easily pulled out of a youngster’s pocket for a quick spin.
