Join us for the next free Museum open house on Sunday, April 7 from 1pm-5pm. Come by for quick tours of the Museum house, learn about our plans for 10A, and we'll have hula hoops, sidewalk chalk, and bubbles available! This is a FREE event, you do not need to pre-register and tickets are not required.
Did you know that hula hooping is back in style? The large plastic rings popularized by Wham-O toys in the late 1950s are experiencing a resurgence. Want to learn more? Check out this article from the Smithsonian Magazine or learn about the woman who was written out of hula hoop history.
Need a refresher on technique? Here's a vintage film from the Wham-O company. Or better yet, come by the Museum open house on the 7th at 1:30pm or 3:30pm to watch a short demo by Greenbelter Susan Harris who is using her vlog to document her progress with this fun pastime! Many thanks to Susan for sharing her expertise!
