We would like to invite you to Pioneer Day Saturday, October 15, 9-1 pm, at Heritage Park in Old Town Coppell, under the windmill. The day is designed to be a "walk through Coppell's history," with life-size figures representing four phases of early Coppell life, including Sam Houston, a Native American, a huge train engine, and a scarecrow that represents early farming and family life. All ages can experience early activities, such as whittling, writing with quill pens, making bead bracelets, searching for arrowheads, helping make butter and bread, and making scarecrow dolls for home gardens.
A big hit with the kids will be the live petting farm that accompanies the farming theme. There will be wagon rides and free snow cones. And computer stations to look up your ancestry.
Another big hit is sure to be the Grand Opening of the Minyard Store and Gift Shop. Amazing vintage items will be for sale. Also members of the Minyard family and former employees will be present around 9:30 for a formal ribbon cutting.
There could even be a surprise lunch at noon!
If you choose, wear something vintage if possible, whether an apron, overalls, a vest, bonnet or hat, and dress kids for fun also.
