Season One (1974-1975)
23. FOUNDER'S DAY
May 7, 1975
Competitive spirits are high for the contests held on Founder's Day,
pitting members of the Ingalls family against members of the Oleson family.
Despite his age, Jim Taylor boasts to be the best logger in town, and
riles Charles for being a farmer in logger's clothing. Caroline Ingalls
is up against Mrs. OIeson in the "Best Pie Contest", and Charles and Nels
fall into a pool of mud during the Tug-of-War contest. Harriett and Nellie
are up against Laura and Caroline in the Three-Legged Race., and Mary
is in the Jump Rope Contest. On the day of the wood chopping competition,
Jim Taylor's wife explains to Charles that Jim just wanted to be rocognized
for his many hard years of work. To make the contest fair, Charles handicaps
himself by using his old ax to make up the age differential, instead of
his brand new one he bought especially for the contest, and Jim Taylor
wins the contest.
