Flora School celebrates 100th year Wallowa County Chieftain Flora School Days will celebrate the 100th year for the school at the annual pioneer skills day Saturday, June 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Flora. A birthday cake an 100 mini cupcakes baked and do- nated by the Rim Rock Inn will set off the celebration. “Birthday gifts” (drawings) will be given out to the public every hour, but only to those still in attendance. “So ill out your entry forms early and stay late,” advises committee mem- ber Sarah Thompson. This year’s quilt by Kathy Brown displays silhouetted children playing. It will be rafled off toward the end of the day (need not be present to win). The Dutch oven lunch will begin around noon, with tick- ets sold in the Country Store. The meal is $10 this year and includes a drink, along with a traditional spoon bread. Head Cook Dan Thomp- son and his team will be cooking approximately 30 additional meals this year, and as always, pie will be served after lunch. School Days consists of celebrating not only the 100 years in the life of a build- ings, but hundreds of years of pioneer life and the skills that helped them survive. In the past soap makers, blacksmiths, spinners, weavers, jewelry makers, quilters, painters and many more have participated in the day-long event. “So far we have added a farrier and hopefully the blacksmith will be making the shoes for the horses too,” said Thompson, a blacksmith himself. Quilts of Valor will once again in be in attendance to award at least two quilts to veterans. This presentation will be in the afternoon. Old-time musicians are al- ways a draw in the Holloway Room, in the auditorium or on the front porch, depending on where they setup for the year. Besides food tickets, the Country Store will be taking orders for the “Happy 100th” T-shirt produced by ArtBeat Inc. in Lewiston. The spoon bread from lunch will be in “meal in a jar” form in the store, along with rabbit sau- sage donated as a fundraiser for the school by Benbrook Farms outside of Troy. Hand- made items are available from local artisans and the School Days demonstrators at their booths or in the store. A tour of the town, the bell and the cemetery using the mule-drawn wagon will add a stop on the way through town. The old First State Bank building story will be told by wagon tour docent Jeff Cur- ry, Flora School attendee and life-long Wallowa County res- ident. MS 291 SAVE $ 20!
