Western Heritage Day Provides Fun For
By Starla Bailiff
Online Editor
Local Elementary Students
Western Heritage Day has
come and gone again at HSU with
warm temperatures and a constant
breeze. There were many children
visiting last Thursday from sur-
rounding elementary schools
ranging from Jim Ned to Hawley
to learn about the "olden days."
The event was held on Anderson
lawn by the pond.

Some attractions that were
made available to the children this
year were the Six White Horses a
story telling booth folk dancing
roping horse shoeing branding
and May Farm with various
animals. May Farm featured sever-
al baby donkeys that were as
young as two weeks old kid goats
a llama named Tony Llama
chickens and baby chicks and
sheep; this farm also included a
sheep shearing lesson. At the
branding station the children
received little blocks of wood with
HSU branded into the front. The
folk dancing was entertaining and
the children were allowed to par-
ticipate in what they like to call
the "chicken dance." There was
also a station that featured bronze
statues of horses and riders which
the children loved to look at and
touch. At the roping station the
students enjoyed learning how to
rope dummy calves that were
attached to bales of hay.
If you missed being
involved in this year's Western
Heritage Day don't fret it will
come around again next April.
