A nearby park had a super fun event called Pioneer Day, where people got to "experience" what it was like to live in the 1800's. There were all kinds of neat things to do - face painting, rope making, candle making, dressing up in 1800's clothes, tasting freshly churned butter, grinding corn, playing games that children played back then, watching a reenactment of a battle between Mexico and Texas, washing clothes, hayrides, listening to music, making bonnets, axe throwing, and much, much more. It really was a very educational and enjoyable event and the best part was it was free.
Here are some pictures from our time at Pioneer Day:
