The decade that brought us babies and the Korean War and TV dinners and babies and civil rights and Tupperware and babies and Joe McCarthy and McDonald’s and babies and Scrabble and Elvis and teen-agers…(and babies).

We were rockin’ and rollin’ at Bi-Folkal as we put together these pictures, music, news events and family stories to bring back memories of the fifties for everyone who was there. They are the same things that will help those who weren’t there to understand what the Ike Age was like.

Manual with programming suggestions, discussion questions, resource lists and a chapter on using the kit for intergenerational programs. (126 keen pages)

Slide/tape, VHS video and DVD.  In “The Fifties, Family-Style” the decade is explored through news photos and family photos. Tape #1 draws the two segments together through narration and the sounds of the fifties that go along with the sights on the slides. Three formats:  80 slides in a carousel tray with a 22-minute narration or 29-minute video or DVD. The video and DVD  include  the 22-minute "The Fifties, Family-Style  PLUS a 7-minute television news feature, “Meet the Inventor of Paint-by-Number.” Both segments are closed-captioned.
