The Victorian Game of Graces

History In the Park,Kids Carnival

Sunday, July 18th, Noon to 4 PM

Located at I. O. O. F. Park across from

the Museum on Hwy 7

The McLeod County Historical Society would like to invite you and your family to our History in the Park, Kids Carnival Fundraiser!  Weather permitting, the Museum will transform I. O. O. F. Park, across from the Museum on Hwy 7, into an old fashioned Carnival from the 1800’s.  In the case of bad weather, the show will go on at the Museum’s Meeting Room area.   Kids and adults alike can try their luck at historically based carnival games that reflect the history of  McLeod County.  Tickets will be on sale from Noon until 3:30 P M at $1 per ticket, with all games costing just one ticket, and you can play until you win a prize! 

Museum volunteers will also have a food stand at the park shelter, sponsored by City Meat Market of Brownton, MN.  For lunch, City Meat Market will be featuring their own famous hot dogs for lunch or a quick snack in between games.  Other snack items for purchase will be popcorn, punch, ice cream sundaes, and root beer floats!

We are also lucky to have a performance at 2 P M by local Clown, George Quast. George will be presenting, “Clowning Around”, the history of clowning through the years!  George will show how clowns have dressed historically, and show off some of the early magic tricks and gags that clowns have used throughout history!
