n the days of the early settlers, neighbors would get together from time to time to enjoy a
huge meal, visit and sometimes engage in some friendly competitions.
Saturday morning there was a tug-of-war match between the Carters and the Williams
family. The members of the Carter family participate at the festival in the pioneer village, and
the Williams family are all competitors in the railsplitter events.
