Here are the comments that were shared in evaluations (plus some emails & the Zoom chat) following your Kiddieland Remembered program recently:
| I loved it, great presentation. |
| Very well researched and presented! It was fun to trip down memory lane, since my family started going to Kiddie Land around 1956! Thank you! |
| Thank you for hosting this! It was fun, and brought back many memories! |
| Love the presentation on Kiddieland. It brought back so many fun memories! |
| Great presenter, very knowledgeable, well paced—loved it! |
| Having a presentation on Zoom was wonderful. I enjoyed it so very much. I will definitely join other programs if offered. Even before the Pandemic, it was difficult to get to the library. I hope it can be arranged to Zoom other programs even when they are offered at the Library. |
| It was so great to see Kiddieland in the wonderful pictures. I was a personal friend of Tom Norini, and to see him in your presentation brought a tear to my eye. Great job on the research, and as always it was very sad to see it go. |
| So fun! Certainly brought back treasured memories…Tom was the name of the horse I road…relieved that so many rides were sold to other amusement parks rather than thrown in a “got junk” truck. Those kinds of experiences and history, once they’re gone, they’re usually gone. Cheryl certainly shared her passion—a wonderful presentation! Took 2 pages of notes—such a thorough and informative presentation. Timeline of acquisitions, and videos, and history and family history…so much information…so neat that this was viewed by so many people! |
| Very interesting! The presenter’s enthusiasm and knowledge were very evident. |
