This weekend we celebrated our pioneer heritage with our annual Heritage Day Picnic at the fairgrounds. We have done this for many years and I think this is one of the largest turn outs we have had. As part of the program this year we presented Heritage Preservation Awards to the Kolb Family of Dublin, the Dublin Historical Perservation Association and the City of Dublin for their work in preserving the pioneer heritage of the valley. They just completed a wonderful Heritage Park comprised of the old Kolb family home and out building, the old pioneer cemetery, the old dublin church and etc. It is a very nice area. We had about 900 people there and the recipients were very impressed with the awards and our recognition. It was a great time by all

I am not sure who won but they are both laughing very hard!!
Nathan and Jason panning for gold!! I hope they find a lot!
It looks like Jason found some!!
Nathan and Jillian (neighbor) are trying to win the 3-legged race.
Gunny Sack races were very popular as well. Nathan is lined up on the left and Jason is in front of Memor on the right side.
Papa/Fafa challenged some of the kids to a race and it was a good thing they all fell down before I did. I think they actually got up and still beat me across the finish line.
I'm not sure what Nathan is looking at but Fafa/Papa and Memor are sure looking at Nathan.
Looks like Fafa has just finished a cookie!
Jason is trying to avoid heading for home by hiding behind the tree. It didn't work.
You can't hide behind those glasses either!
You can't hide either Andrea!
I guess true pioneers had to walk home after fun things. Follow the tracks and you will get there eventually!
