Our Eagle-bound Scout took his first step in an important project: organizing a Color Guard for the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the new One-Room Schoolhouse at the Pony Express National Museum. He will install a flagpole with an 1860s flag, bearing 33 stars like it did 150 years ago. Dorito is shown here with the rendering.
And shown here with a golden shovel. He was a member of the Teen Advisory group who helped set-up the Penny Drive for the Pony School (last month) and hosted the first ceremony of the Sesquicentennial. Although it's Easter weekend, we have already seen lots of visitors. I'm proud of Dorito's involvement and planning for the past 8 months.
The rainstorms held off just long enough for awards to be announced, and some 4th grade girls performed their jingle about the Pennies Fundraiser. (pioneer rhyme!) Then our crowd released more than 100 golden helium balloons to spread the news about the new Schoolhouse that will be finished this fall. Dorito and his group started filling the balloons at 7 a.m.!
One farmer has sent back an email that he found a balloon string and note in his fields in Casey, Iowa. That's 156 miles from here! I guess the storms gave the balloons an extra push for that distance.
