Passing the Torch! 🔥
In the 1980s, our late president, Ed Armstrong, patented and printed a board game that quickly became a local favorite. Decades later, the game found new life when Ed’s grandson, Ryan, discovered more than 700 copies tucked away in storage just before Christmas.
Wanting to share his grandfather’s legacy, Ryan donated many of the games to local charities. (See our December news spotlight here: https://tinyurl.com/NinestonesGame )
One of those games made its way into a 4th-grade classroom, where teacher Jerdon Keisman watched his students fall in love with it.
Inspired by the excitement the game generated, Jerdon reached out to Ryan about acquiring the rights so he could continue and grow Ed’s beloved creation. Ryan and the team at Snowman’s enthusiastically said yes!
We’re thrilled to see this cherished game enter a new chapter and can’t wait to watch where Jerdon takes it next. Congratulations, Jerdon, and thank you for helping keep Ed’s legacy alive - Think BIG! 🎲❤️
