And the winner is! Memorial School Third Grader Thomas Fenton who guessed that there were 685
pieces of candy in our glass pumpkin jar. The estimation contest was an activity the members of the Joseph N. Goff House board offered, when Thomas and all of his fellow third graders stopped by the museum during their tour of East Hampton on Oct. 10. The actual number of candy pieced in the jar was 677, so Thomas was only 8 off!
Special mentions go to Kyle Carillon who were so close with a guess of 650;
Charlotte Minnick, who guessed 627; Brooke Adams, who guessed 613 and Liam Owen
who guessed 600. Good job everyone and thank you for taking part in the tour and
the candy guess.
Our Joseph N. Goff House greeter Monica Kangley said the visits
were wonderful, the children so well behaved and interested in everything about
the museum - the big bell outside, the stairs to nowhere, the history of the building, the museum's exhibit on Tourism in East Hampton and of course the
candy.
The Joseph N. Goff House board members are so thankful to have had the
chance for the museum to be a part of the student's tour of East Hampton and we love the thank you letters so many of the children took the time to write us. We will hang them in the museum for everyone to enjoy.
