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.
