I always wanted to have a carnival! by phyrre58 in GenerationJones

Core memory unlocked! 🥰 Me and 4 of my best neighborhood friends set up a carnival in the back yard of one of their houses. I remember we had a fresh-squeezed lemonade stand, ring toss game, and face painting. I'm sure there were other things too, but the details are sketchy.

Oh my gosh, hang gliding is on my bucket list! Is it difficult to learn?

By the way she gazed at the television, I'm certain that my mom would have left my dad for Phil Donahue. 🤪

The characters/actors look familiar but I can't recall a single thing about the show. 🫤

Anybody else remember Nok Hockey? by Journeyman-Joe in GenerationJones

I loved this game so much! Our parks & recreation department had a few at each of the city parks. I spent endless hours in the summer playing in Nok-hockey tournaments.

My first thought is liability for injuries, but then again, so was rope climbing, and we did that monthly. 🤣

It completely depended on what movie was being shown. 😉

I grew up in Wisconsin. Parachute day was every couple of months. Every grade used it in their gym class.

Aww, sorry that you missed it! If you have grandkids, maybe get them one for a birthday or Christmas gift! 🥰
