Family Hour With Uncle Wiggily
Howard Roger Garis (1873-1962) was a reporter for the Newark Evening News when he first started writing stories for children about a gentleman rabbit named Uncle Wiggily. He created a widely syndicated series that eventually totaled hundreds of tales. The Uncle Wiggily board game was first introduced by Milton Bradley in 1916; players pick up cards with funny rhyming verses to find out how far to move their Uncle Wiggily tokens along the game path. Join us for a fun afternoon celebrating 100 years of the Uncle Wiggily game in the Main Library Activity Room on Sunday, August 21st, 2016 at 3:30 p.m. with Uncle Wiggily stories and a craft. You will even have the opportunity to play the current version of the board game!
