I don't know what this event is really called, but it happens every fall. A Catholic school was set up in our area years ago as a frontier mission to the Shawnee Indians. (That's why a road and the area is called Shawnee Mission.) Anyway, its a historical landmark of some kind, and every fall there is a festival that in a variety of ways links to the olden days. Covered wagon rides, tee-pees, archery, animal skins, old fashioned homemade root beer, lots of crafts, Boy Scout game booths, and a quilt show in the mission building are regular features. Last year Mom and Dad were here for it. This time we went with Nika and tried to practice her manners and socialization with people in a busy area. She did pretty good, I guess.
