“National Donut Day” Celebration Great Success
BAHS and the newly formed Bremen Activities Committee provided crafts and games for many youngsters of the Bremen area. Games included old fashioned sack races, donut strut (cakewalk) and a donut eating contest!
BAHS wants to thank Jack & Patti Frohnapfel, from the Ohio Glass Museum, for showing the youngsters how to play marbles! They were a real hit. BAHS has registration forms for the 2020 Fairfield County Marbles Tournament. Call if you would like one.
Adults and children alike enjoyed complimentary donuts, juice and coffee. Door prizes were awarded to the families with the most members and the most generations present.
There were 4 generations of the Baker-Fisher family present, including a great-grandmother who was visiting from Kentucky!
Many of those present toured the museum. Some said they had no idea that there was a museum in Bremen!

people and fixing and serving food.
