First Graders & Fires

Hi All,

Yesterday's field trip was Pioneer demonstrations so we are dressed as pioneers. Carl was the farmer and Sandy was at the log cabin making butter.


The school brought all 220 of their first graders so we had large groups.

In the evening we attended the meeting of the West Volusia Historical Society. The topic was the great Deland fire of 1886 that destroyed 28 buildings, pretty much the whole downtown area. Part of the presentation was a skit depicting events just after the fire. It was fun and informative. The local fire department talked about the history of the department and brought this restored 1942 apparatus.
Definitely not a stuffy historical society meeting.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
