Along with bocce, we played it at my uncle's. My cousins still do and now <br />The Vindicator published that the game was invented at the Falcon Bronze playground, early 1930s, Youngstown, Ohio.<br /><br />Here's a very short tribute to the Youngstown game Washers/Ringers on YouTube:<br />http://steelvalleyvoices.ysu.edu/resources/collections/common-ground/comment-page-1/#comment-17256Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529361734804676048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417826613564647688.post-4609891881190435662010-06-29T07:39:12.459-07:002010-06-29T07:39:12.459-07:00OMG, once again I have gotten a great idea for a b...OMG, once again I have gotten a great idea for a blog post from reading yours. (I'm such a copycat.) When I was growing up, we lived across the street from a school with a big playground and in the summer we would get a high school girl assigned to our playground as a playground supervisor. She would lead games and do crafts with us. She had a huge number of cigar boxes full of crayons. Every summer I would idolize whoever was our playground supervisor. The little girls would follow her around like little puppies. <br /><br />You continue to amaze me with your ability to jog the recesses of my memory.Diane Laney Fitzpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06332345732271216536noreply@blogger.com
