28. attend a Chautauqua

It takes a community to raise a tent.

First step, unfold the three tent pieces and orient them properly.


Second step, pound in the stakes. That's me on the right in the purple shirt, working really hard. My mother took this picture and the next two.


Third step, lift the side poles so that the two center poles can be carried underneath.


Fourth step, the center poles are pushed up into place.


Finally, the chair brigade sets up the audience seating for the Chautauqua evening events.
