FREE ZOOM TALK: GAMES STL PEOPLE PLAY

This talk looks at the myriad amateur sports and organized games that St. Louisans play from mud pits to video screens.  They play for trophies, championships, or the joy of winning.  St. Louisans play games on clay, on ice, on sand, on screen, on water, in water, on grass, on asphalt, in mud.  They play games with stumps, ropes, poles, barrels, sticks, stones, pallinos, gaga balls, castles, tree trunks.  And watch out for the game where you get pelted with bags if you make a foul.  The talk will also salute the place in nearby Illinois which is keeping alive a sport that appeared in the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis —the sport has never been played in any other Olympics.

Every Prime Timer will receive an email with a Zoom link for the free talk.
