Missy, this sounds like a fun time for a worthwhile cause.  I used to love watching Little House on the Prairie and a one-room schoolhouse brings that to mind.  Have fun tomorrow!

Sounds like a lot of fun!  Wish I had known about it sooner as I would have made plans to get up there, but we are already obligated for another event.  :(  Eat some ice-cream for me!

Missy

If that does not look like a wonderful retreat. I only hope they have Butter Pecan.

Sincerely

Tom Braatz

P.S. I have been reminding the good Doctor I am right here, and I am on top of it.

Missy - What a fun event, and a neat thing for children, and parents, to see. Plus the side benefit of ice cream...always a good thinh IMO.

Hi Missy, that chocolate cone looks almost good enough to eat!  I may have to stop by our local Cold Stone today !

We have sort of a similar place here in Fishers, Indiana called Conner Prairie.  They go back in time and churn butter and have the one room school house....field trips always go there.  Maybe I should post about that on Localism!!!

Missy, looks like a lot of fun and should be areal hoot (and for a great cause to0). Enjoy your time there. I know if I could come I most certainly would enjoy mine. Nothing beats home made ice cream. :-)

Sounds like a wonderful event and the weather is perfect up there right now. But holy Toledo that is one big ice cream.

Hi Missy, As I was looking at the picture and noticing the school, one cool thing you could do if you get some time is to  one day , try and locate some of the community's outstanding alumni of that one room school house. What an interesting article that would be. Have a great event and remeber , it is only one room but I would bet some famous feet have walked the floor boards there. And even if not famous, your interview would surely make them feel as though they were. Just an idea. I already know you know how my mind works,:-)

Hi Missy...I just had a big helping of butter pecan so I'm not tempted by that delicious chocolate ice cream cone, not even one teeny bit. 

This looks like a fun event.

Great fun and I do like my Ice Cream. Too bad I have and open house.

Missy, have an ice cream cone for me.  Yummy!

Congratulations!!  on your Local Michigan Wolverine ; The Amazing Michael Phelps.

Missy, I love these "old time" events and this made me smile..I went to one of those old schoolhouses that only had two classrooms and really loved it before I was sent to the "big" school!  Ah, the memories.

Missy - It certainly seems like your area is quite busy.  How fun!  Thanks for sharing.

am thinking the ice cream cone looks more appetizing than the blimp. both nice local posts.

cheers

This is a wonderful program to retain a part of our history.  I especially enjoyed reading this because my husband attended a one room school house for his first two years of school.  He grew up on a farm that still used work horses into the 1950's! (No, his family is not Amish and he is not ancient, just past 60.)  When I first met him the school still set on the corner of the family farm and we would always visit it when we traveled to see his folks.  You could pull down the maps that the teacher used for geography class and the chalk board and erasers were still there.  The school has since been moved to a historic village; I miss being able to stand in it and imagine what it might have been like to go to school there.  I am glad the students of Saline get a chance for that experience.

I am going to see if I can get some information about the school to include in the Welcome Packets that we deliver to new residents in Saline.

Thanks for the post!

Yum!  It sounds like the epitome of small town family fun!

I love old school houses! This sounds like fun and hopefully raise a good amount of money to maintain the history of this school and others like it. Gotta love the pic of the ice cream!
