Hands on History: Spring Has Sprung! May 14, 2011

Everyone needs to have fun. Long before computers and video games, imaginative games and contests helped lift spirits, encourage a sense of community and fun, and brought people together. Pioneer games gave people a chance to get together, helped children develop, and build lasting friendships or lead to courtship and marriage. This day is dedicated to fun and games of skill, such as barrel hoop races, the game of Graces, tug-o'-war, jump rope, even marbles and parlor games. Lots of games and fun toys will be for sale in our trade store. Everyone who plays will win a prize! For more information please call phone 916 445-4422 or visit www.parks.ca.gov/suttersfort.
