Hi all,
We have another new library that just signed up for monthly events, Somers, NY. Here are a few photos from yesterday’s WWI game. Schools are on vacation, so the turnout wasn’t bad for a first event.
A few funny items….
You might notice the elderly woman (Jean) playing in the game. She signed up for the event thinking it was to watch a movie. I explained that it was a game and convinced her to try it out. Since she had a walker, we put her in charge of defending the trench so she wouldn’t have to move too much. She said her father was an airplane mechanic in the Pacific during WWII, and she had some nice stories.
A few of you might also notice Henry Grell from NYWA. He is a teacher in nearby Briarcliff, so he stopped by to say hello. One of the German figures in the game was designed to look like Henry, so we had a few laughs with that. I’ll be following up with him about starting something in Briarcliff.
Enjoy the photos and best regards.
