Never Stop Playing (Woodcrest Commons)

March 22, 2017 (Henrietta, NY) ─ Seniors from Woodcrest Commons recently took a stroll down memory lane during a visit to the Strong Museum of Play. Residents of the DePaul Senior Living Community in Henrietta enjoyed reminiscing about pick-up-sticks, Tiddlywinks and other toys of the past on a tour of the newly renovated Toy Hall of Fame.

“A couple of them tested their memory on the touch screen memory game,” said Activities Director Lindsay Lown. “Almost all of us sat in front of the Etch A Sketch to let it etch our portraits, and all of us were hysterical over how funny we looked.”
