FLORA Flora School Days will once again celebrate historic folk arts and agriculture at the old Flora Schoolhouse 37 miles north of Enterprise, this weekend.

A day of enjoying old-time skills, old-time music and old-time food will start at 10 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. Saturday, June 15.

Its looking really good. Weve had more volunteers and more demonstrators than in the past, said Vanessa Thompson of the Flora School Education Center, which is hosting the event. The weavers are back again, several spinners and possibly a basket weaver.

Annual favorites also include blacksmithing, soap-making, silversmithing and the kids favorites, candle-maker and making corn husk dolls.

Musicians will play old-time music throughout the day.

Food will include homemade pie at an old-fashioned Pie Social, complete with ice cream and drinks, plus a bountiful Dutch oven lunch when the bell rings, usually around noon.

Along with the Dutch ovens, wood cookstove volunteers will be also be baking and also churning out butter for the bread.

There will be mule-drawn wagon town tours at approximately 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., as well as walking tours on your own with a tour booklet available.

Another popular activity is the Country Store, which sells handmade items, collectibles and antiques. For more information on School Days or to volunteer or donate, call 509-876-2858 or email volunteers@floraschool.org.

Money earned from the food sales and country store and all donations go towards the restoration of the Flora School and keeping folk arts and historic agriculture alive.
