Harley and Paul Show

On November 20, 2017, Harley Schmadeke and Paul Douglas traveled to Spearfish to make a presentation to the Northern Hills Retired School Personnel’s Monday meeting. They gave a little pitch about our Toy Making Program, and explained the details of how the toys are made. There were lots of interesting questions, and excellent feedback about the value of the program. Great Job Harley and Paul.

Then later in December, Harley and Paul did another presentation to a group of youngsters at Robbinsdale Elementary School, for their after school program, affiliated with the YMCA. This was a more hands on event, with Harley and Paul explaining a little bit about each toy and how they are made. Thanks again Harley and Paul for a great job!
