Virtual Family Activity: Objects Tell Stories

February 3, 2021

From food carts to food trucks, Connecticut has a long history of food on the go! Tune into this episode of Objects Tell Stories and explore the tradition of traveling food markets, ranging from peddlers of the early 1900s to the Hartford Mobile Market of today. Then, tell us about a time you bought something from a traveling business, like a flea market or food truck!

This episode will be released on Wednesday, February 3. It is free and great for children ages 5 and up. For more information, please contact Katerina Mazzacane, Youth and Family Programs Manager, at 860-236-5621 x222, or email katerina_mazzacane@chs.org.
