I remember watching Carol Burnett with my dad and watching Lawrence Welk on Sat evenings with my grandparents.
I remember playing croquet as a family grandparents aunts and uncles and cousins.
There were 2 five and dime stores in town. Harrison's had several tables that had glass dividers and in the spaces created they had all kinds of kid things. Whistles,combs, mirrors, little dolls, purses, tin stars,yoyos, jacks, marbles etc lots and lots of things.
You could buy dishes or clothes or baby items or boots or just about anything there.
Penny candy galore. You could get a handful of candy for a penny.
Hoaglin's was the other one on the opposite side of the square. they had a real monkey in a cage at the back of the store.
