Employing dramatic images and sweeping promotional strategies, this dynamic duo created more than 30 books on railroading and Western Americana, demonstrating that the railroad serves the nation as an icon of the American experience.

A Jukebox for the Algonquin
2:00 PM-2:00 PM: A Jukebox for the Algonquin

The contemporary community room at the Placid Pines Senior Care Center could really use a jukebox. When it costs more than the center can raise, a small band of former Brooklyn and Bronx residents hatch a plot to prove that aging is not a New York state of mind. This funny, heartwarming story reminds us that age is just a number, as long as we have friends to connect with.

Age recommendation: 13+ for adult subjects and older adult humor
