Each year fifth-graders at Dripping Springs Elementary School participate in the Colonial Fair as part of a Social Studies unit. Each student researches an aspect of colonial life and create a way to present a summary of what they learned, while dressing in clothes representative of the era. Topics range from butter-making to log-cabin building to corn husk dolls. At right, Nicholas Dudek shared information about the Puritan religion and Ryan Tingle shows what he learned about the dyeing processes that were used.
