It was an afternoon of old-fashioned fun at our 150th Fair! Root beer floats, pony rides, face-painting and of course our annual Mr. Coleman Pie in the Face. Students got to see a blacksmith in action and took turns churning butter, painting a fence and using a washboard. The old-time Jazz Band helped punctuate the end of our fantastic celebration.
The Fair was the perfect ending to a year-long commemoration of Prairie’s 150th year. And behind every great event is a long list of volunteers who helped bring it to life. Thank you to our 150th Planning Committee, who worked many hours to plan every detail:
- Tricia Stephens Fair Chairperson
- Tessie Wissel Fair Co-Chair
- Ashley Walburn Events Chairperson
- Holly Grummert & Kate Johnson Spirit Wear
- Constance Eddy & Amy Gardner Book
- Jeremy Johnson Fair Photographer
- Kate Johnson Marketing & Promotion
And thank you to the many Prairie parents, friends and families who helped us staff this community event. We are so grateful for you all, and so thankful to be a part of this remarkable school.
