Despite some days of snow and bitter cold, the Fridley History Center was a warm and welcoming stop for 440 visitors during our “Totally Awesome 1980s Christmas.” Those who were young during the ’80s were able to relive the decade — and sometimes share it with their children — by pointing out Cabbage Patch Kids, Care Bears, Simon, Transformers, Rubik’s cubes, an Espirit shoulder bag, and many other items. Other attractions were the sports memorabilia, Fridley High School ’80s yearbooks, Christmas catalogs, trivia, visiting with Santa, and drinking a cup of Christmas tea. A raffle, sales of vintage Christmas ornaments, proceeds from the Ms. PAC-MAN arcade game, and donations helped support our efforts for 2017 – Thank you!

Great holiday family event!
