The Citizen, 2015-06-18, Page 17THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2015. PAGE 17. Steak bingo, toys of past June 20 at School Car To kick off the 2015 season and its theme, the School on Wheels Museum will host a fun-filled event at Sloman Park in Clinton on June 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. – weather permitting. Donations in support of the school car may be made by visitors who drop by to take part in the activities planned. “Games and Toys of the Past” will feature the hands-on play that boys and girls enjoyed for years – pre- television, pre-computers and pre- electronics – including kids’ bingo. The Huron County Museum will be setting up artifacts and displays, and David Onn will bring his operational model railway in addition to vintage toys. Phil Gemeinhardt of Bayfield North Antiques and Collectibles will contribute interesting playthings as well. And who doesn’t like board games? There’ll be lots of those. The history of the School on Wheels is diverse and interesting – Clinton native Fred and his wife Cela Sloman raised and taught their family of five children in this mobile classroom and residence for 10 months each year, with Fred as the popular teacher of hundreds of children living in remote northern Ontario over a period of nearly 40 years. Of particular interest at the June 20 event, will be a mini croquet set, similar to the one the Slomans would set up and play inside the car. Reminiscent of nights of entertainment organized for families along the rail line by Fred and Cela, the Lions Clubs of Bayfield and Clinton will be holding a Steak Bingo for adults from 1 to 2 p.m. during the event. Bingo cards will be available for purchase, with proceeds being donated to the School on Wheels Museum. Have fun and win dinner. Amusement, refreshments as well as a 50/50 draw will be the order of the day at the park that showcases this well-known symbol of past education success. It isn’t often that the main artefact of a museum is the museum itself. Restored and furnished in 1940s style, the Sloman School on Wheels brings history to life. And a lively place it will be on June 20.
