"Remembering Fall Frost you say? You ask me whether
I had any frost to my place this mornin'?"
So begins an irresistible invitation to remember autumns past; the sights
and sounds and smells, the textures, and the taste treats. The first part
of the media is an entertaining nine-minute monologue. After this narrator
tells his story, your group members will want to tell theirs. Who can help
but notice how getting ready for winter has changed over the years? It's
a cool and refreshing program topic for a hot summer afternoon.
The addition of the images from our Slideas 20-slide set titled "Fall Color" will add
flexibility to your programming with this kit.
