Tissue paper eggs for spring.

The kids are really excited about picking their site for the Community Project.  It has been really fun talking and learning about the history of Hastings.  We have learned quite a lot.  We have talked a lot about why Hastings wanted to be the County Seat and have the Courthouse here.  We have also talked about how important the railroad was to any town on the praire.  It was very interesting to teach the kids about how you had to "go to town" to buy groceries, and how you didn't go to town very often if was far away.

We have also talked about the four brick factories in Hastings.  They were interested because some of the kids have visited Brickyard Park.

We will soon be talking about more of the parks, several different downtown buildings, and more about the streetcars that were in Hastings.
