A 4-H wagon train rolled
through Sisters Country last
week. Some 85 people and
10 wagons traveled 10 to 15
miles a day with a layover day
when parents and guests can
visit and watch the kids learn
pioneer skills and have fun
playing games. All the 4-H kids
took part in setting up and tak-
ing down camp each day, and
helped cook in the kitchen,
serving food and washing dish-
es in big outside tubs. Every
night campfire stories and
songs ending with everyone
tired and ready to go to bed
early.
