New Ulm, Minn. — The antique popcorn popper in New Ulm helps mark the seasons. The onset of spring means the smell of butter is just around the corner. And no more "pop-popping" in the air is a sure bet winter is on the way.

A favorite snack for young and old alike, popcorn was one of few luxuries people could still afford during the Great Depression.

Bright red with yellow trim, the wagon has been serving residents of New Ulm since 1918. It's carted out each year by the Brown County Historical Society Museum. The BCHS is the fifth owner/operator of the cart.

Power of play

05.04.11

Creative activities help children acquire important skills.

LEARNING through play opens the child’s mind to what is in the environment. They discover how things are done and develop the understanding of right and wrong from playing. Children thrive on simple yet meaningful play experiences.

Balls – Babies like holding soft balls while toddlers enjoy the rubbery ones that they can hold with both hands and throw. Preschoolers love playing ball-catching with their friends. As they grow and develop more skills, they start playing ball games with rules.

Blocks – They come in all sizes, shapes and colours. I still love the wooden ones that children can stack them up in a tall tower when they are just babies or toddlers. When they become preschoolers, they build bridges and houses of all types.

Cardboard boxes and containers – Babies like to repeatedly put objects into a container and then tip them out. Older children will explore ways to play with containers of all sizes and shapes.
