Great little "Stay-cation" Idea...Visit the Days of World War II

By
Real Estate Agent with Springer Realty Group RS305712

    I'd written a blog some time back about a really fun exhibit that I'd seen at Pottstown's Community Days.  It is called Reflections of World War II.  It is a large trailer/vehicle that has been converted into the "Home" of a typical family during WWII; from an old icebox, and nostalgic music on the radio to the exact bedroom with chenille bedspread that my own grandparents had, back in the day!   The people that "live" in the exhibit are all dressed in the garb of the day...They are true history lovers and are there to make the experience truly real for you and your family.  I wanted to include their calendar of events so during the course of this Summer of high gas prices- you might be able to have some fun during what many families are calling their STAY-CATIONS!

If anyone would like any more information about this unique exhibit; I've included their website below the calendar of events...ENJOY!

I didn't know Sunnybrook was still opened. My friends and I used to meet there for a Sunday morning Breakfast buffet. Thanks for the great "stay"-cation Ideas.

I was taking "stay-cations" back in the late 1970s, through the 1980s and 1990s, and into the 2000s. I should have trademarked the term. Darn. LOL

Hey, Faith. I notice that you haven't been Playing in the Rain lately. Don't give up. The search engines love those who Play persistently and consistently because it provides fresh content. Hope you'll come back and at least post a blog entry each week.
