Join us Tuesday April 26th at 10 a.m. in person at the Knights of Columbus Hall or virtually via Zoom for this month’s meeting of the Reminisce Society! This month we have a program sponsored by Humanities Iowa presented by Jennifer Sterling, “6-on-6 Girl’s Basketball in Iowa”.
For most of the 20th cenury, Iowa was known for its devotion to a unique form of women’s sport known as 6-on-6 girls’ basketball. As other states abandoned 6-on-6 in the 1970s, Iowa remained committed to this half-court game until 1993, when the final 6-player championship was held. This multi-media presentation recounts Iowa’s 6-on-6 history, connects it to the development of girls’ and women’s sport in the United States, and welcomes audience members to share their own stories and collections.
If you would like to have your name added to the Zoom meeting or if you have any further questions contact Sonja Ferrell at 641-682-7563 extension 202 or by email at sferrell@ottumwapubliclibrary.org.
