94th Annual Highlandlake/ Mead Pioneer Day A

s part of our 94th Annual Highlandlake/ Mead Pioneer Day (June 14, 2015) we are having a silent auction. Several items have been donated so far. I'm including photos of two of them here. The main feature this year is a farm show where you can come and see old tractors and other machinery, ask questions, and learn about some of our proud history. This d e l u x e g ard en in g tool set is to die for. Want it? This is only one of several items being offered at our 1st a n n u a l s i l e n t auction. Pioneer Day (formally known as the Highlandlake/Mead Community Gathering) is our our major fundraiser for the year. We have more needs than usual this year, since the church building is in need of painting

We are also having hayride tours of the Highlandlake Community and Pioneer Cemetery. Hands on demonstrations, where you can learn how to churn butter, grind wheat, and shell corn the old-fashioned way, are just a few of the activities. Never fear, our famous potluck lunch at noon is still on the agenda. We will never give that up! All events start at the Historic Highlandlake Church building. This is a come, eat, enjoy, and stay as long as you like. Now, one more thing. We are holding a little contest. Not sure what the prize is yet, but I'm sure that I will be able to come up with something good. As most of you know, I wrote a book on the history of Highlandlake and Mead, published by Arcadia Publishing. In the book, there is one small typo that changed a sentence into one huge mistake. Get your hands on my book and see if you can find it, then email me your answer, along with the page number to: pauli@ historichighlandlake.org. All correct answers will be entered in a drawing. We will draw a name out of the hat during the potluck (12 noon) on Pioneer Day. You will not need to be present, but if you aren't, you are sure going to miss out on some good eatin'.

t Tutor Doctor Longmont to Loveland, we’re passionate about education and we strive to make learning fun. Our tutors are local and experienced educators, college graduates and professionals.

Our tutors continually assess their student’s unique learning styles to create and modify an educational plan for each student as their needs change.

Our Tutors Have:  Exceptional motivational skills  Enthusiasm and creativitys  A passion for assisting students  A desire to emphasize progress and growth  A gift for sharing new skills and strategies

and we are raising funds to help build a retaining wall on the west property line of the Highlandlake Pioneer Cemetery. I'll be posting photos of other items. If you have something that you would like to donate toward our silent auction, please let our executive director, Pauli Driver Smith know. 100% of the proceeds go toward preserving our local history.
