There will be special activities all day at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home on September 18. Some events will be offered during the morning AND the afternoon — especially those pertaining to children. That way the children can participate in the morning activities of 19th Century Children’s Games, Little Laura/Little Farmer Boy and maybe even a bed race, then go to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home and Museum to enjoy a story time, listen to Pa’s fiddle and tour Laura’s homes at a special discounted admission for that day.

The supposed-t0-be final meeting for the committee planning Wilder Days 2010 is scheduled at 5:30 pm tonight in the beautiful Weaver Inn in downtown Mansfield.
I am excited/sad to be writing some of these last messages for the season! I have enjoyed writing to you and am so pleased at how large this list has become.
Everyone should have their committees all set and ready to go. The emails have gone out to lists of everyone interested locally, reminding them of the Big Event a positive plan, not the scary EVENT that the commercials on TV keep yapping about. Follow that link and learn more!
We’ve gotten the Little Laura/Little Farmer Boy Contest addressed, the Parade routes are ready, Sho-Me Your Wheels car/mechanical show has some great prizes, the bands are hired, the port-a-pots and hand-washing stations reserved. The Bedrace obstacle course is ready to set up. The vendors are signing up. It is all coming together. Posters and maps of Mansfield showing the location of Chamber members are all ready.
There are schedules and vendor forms at the WilderDays-MansfieldMo.com website. Also rules for the Bedraces and posters for the bedraces and car show that you can print out.
Please remember to bring your lawn chairs.
