Children attended a variety of churches: Nativity, Federated Community Church, The
Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints, and the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany.
Kids did not have as many toys then. They played with marbles, jacks, chess, wagons,
dolls, jump ropes, stuffed animals, and bicycles.
Kids did have lots of opportunities for celebrations. Many Navajo families came to
town for the annual Pow Wow which began in 1931 and lasted until the 1980's. It took
two to three days to get to town with a wagon.
The 4th of July was always fun whether you watched the firemen's race, entered a pie
eating contest, or showed off your dog in pet parade. Birthday parties and other holidays
were celebrated in ways similar to today.| Go to the next page. | Return to the Exhibits Page. |
