Hoop and Annie Over. We also played dominos<br />
and pickup sticks, and made corncob dolls.<br />
There was a small fee for each activity but we did<br />
not mind paying it because the money was going<br />
to a local charity. We also enjoyed going through<br />
the party vendor stations and sampling their<br />
wares and seeing what they had to offer if hired<br />
for an actual party. This was a good way to see<br />
what all is available.<br />

We ate an authentic chuck wagon barbeque that<br />
was cooked by a chuck wagon gang dressed in<br />
authentic 1836 attire. The cost was $12 per plate,<br />
but again did not mind the cost because<br />
proceeds were going to a local charity.<br />

Went back over to the stage area to listen to a<br />
band that was playing music that would have<br />
been played around 1836. There were dance<br />
instructors there showing us how the people of<br />
that time danced, and they also explained some<br />
of the history of the songs they sang. Very<br />
entertaining and educational.<br />
