Fall Festival at the Holmans'
The Prairie Elementary second and third grade went on a fall festival field trip to the Holmans’. There were four stations to rotate thru. At the first station They pressed apple cider with a turn of the century press. Then they learned about pasteurization and drank hot cider. At the next station they snacked on Grandma Marlene’s homemade kettle corn and listened to a book about Johnny Appleseed. At the third station they milled wheat and cracked and tasted garbanzo beans. At the fourth station they went on a hay ride and learned about the various stages of crops planted in the surrounding fields. To finish off the day they had a foot race to the pumpkin patch. There were so many, many volunteers involved throughout the day. We are so grateful for a bountiful harvest and for so many people sharing their time, children, apples, pumpkins, wheat and garbanzo beans.
