Northwest Christian 3rd Graders Step Back to a Simpler Time on November 7th for Pioneer Day

The 3^rd graders from Northwest Christian Schools will be hosted for Pioneer Day at the Riddle Ranch on Friday, November 7^th.

Plenty of activities are planned as they “turn back time” for the day, including Dutch oven cooking with special guest Laura Krauss. A Native American storyteller will be telling stories in a huge tipi (also known as tepee or teepee) that will be set-up for the event, and the students will get to use a branding iron to press a custom NWC brand into a log slab.

There will be a spinning wheel demonstration by NWC parent, Elizabeth Culver; the students will have the opportunity to make and taste homemade ice cream and butter; and we may have a special guest to demonstrate roping techniques.

Mike Curry from the Wildlife Council will be on hand; there will be old fashioned games; and the Smith Family will bring their cider press so the students will get a cup of cider or two.

Northwest Christian parent, Tamara White, will be cooking up “stone stew.” Last but not least, there will be a scavenger hunt for all the students.
