Dennis Picard's "It's All Fun and Games" Presentation a Hit

Dennis Picard gave a wonderful presentation at NCCHP this evening (2016-08-17), featuring toys, games and puzzles of days past. He covered everything from corn husk dolls to marbles to baseball. And sledding, hoop rolling, mumbley peg and more. It was amazing to realize how many of these games and activities live on in one form or another. Many of the games were set up around the exhibition space so attendees could try them out after the presentation, much to their delight.

The event was well attended and included some great displays which will continue to be exhibited at the museum. NCCHP, Mr. Picard and the volunteers who helped set up the exhibits did a great job as evidenced by the applause at the end of the presentation.

Good turnout on a pleasant summer evening in Granville
