The highlight of last week was our class trip to the 8th annual Colonial Heritage Festival in Orem.
According to their website, http://www.freedomfestival.org/event/colonial-fest/, chairpersons Gregg Hardy and Katherine Hardy welcome all to, "Travel back in time through our
living museum known as the Village at Aubin’s Grove at SCERA Park, and
visit our indoor Colonial relics museum at the SCERA Center for the
Arts. Visit Colonial artisans, exhibits, demonstrations, and join in the
great debates, public trials, and storytelling in the Old South Church.
From our grand Mayflower replica and maritime interactive exhibits to
the Colonial School, children will be attended to by teachers from the
Alpine School District. Children will also be able to play Colonial
games and participate in the daily children’s chores. Military
enthusiasts can visit the gun displays and experience the cannon firing
on the green. Exhibits include the apothecary shop, blacksmith, cooper,
broom maker, gunsmith, spoon maker, potter, bobbin lace maker, bee
keeper, chandler, wood worker, women’s clothing, home life, frontier
life, and much more".
