Trip to Sedan



The St. Charles School was moved from the country to the Hollow Park, and it is now the home of the Chamber of Commerce and a museum. There is an album of former Chautauqua County teachers with their pictures and stories. This is the school that Awin's grandmother taught her first year of seven back in 1928. http://www.kansasphototour.com/sedan.htm




This big rock once was the top of a well.



This carved statue of Emmett Kelly Sr. was hewn from a tree stump



Behind me is a water fall but it is dry now. This area used to be a trash dump and with hard work the community turned it into a beautiful park. Awin and his sister helped pick some of the trash as a 4-H community project back in the early 90s.


This is the mascot for the school where Awin and his sisters attended. I didn't know he was a devil.
