Kyrie was very excited to learn that her Girl Scout troop would be working to earn the Playing the Past badge with a special Living Herstory party! Each girl chose a woman from herstory to study. Then they created a costume, made an accessory, wrote a speech and brought a dish to our Herstory Potluck. These girls (& their parents) did an amazing job! They looked great, and we had lots of yummy food to represent famous women.
Kyrie chose Sybil Ludington who went on a midnight ride during the Revolutionary War (like her more-famous counter-part Paul Revere), though she was only 16 and her ride was twice as long as Mr. Revere's. Kyrie was excited to put her costume together and made a mob cap, a handkerchief, a bag and a lantern. For the potluck, she helped make yeast bread, corn bread and fresh butter (which we served with the family preserves).
