THE WHAT:
If you simply want to relax, hang out on the grounds and visit with friends and family, then be sure to get into a game of "Bags." Okay, okay, some of you may call it "bean bags", or "cornhole", either way you’ll call it a load of fun. This is a FREE activity so don’t be shy.
THE WHERE, WHEN & HOW:
Look for the bags at the Southeast Yard when Mother Nature permits. It’ll be a great excuse to return to the Museum and hang out, compete, socialize and hang with others who share the passion for not only the grand old game that is BAGS, but for bikes in general. |
