Pioneer Day originated as a fun project for the Kildare Garden Group. It had all the old games. They included corn shucking, sawing with a cross cut saw, chopping wood, churning, washing on the rub board, ironing with a smoothing iron, etc.
Later games were added that young people could relate to like tug of war, sack races and wheel barrow races. All the family, old and young attended. This project went by the wayside as the children and grand children grew up and the members grew older - their “golden years.” Read more in our e-edition: http://www.etypeservices.com/SWF/LocalUser/Casscounty1//Magazine39647/Full/index.aspx?id=39647
