July Guessing Contest: Campfire Fun

Ah, Summer.  There are so many things to enjoy during these hot, long days.  Swimming, reading, bike riding, chalk drawing, picnics, and of course, camping.  What would camping be without hot, gooey, S'mores?  No fun at all, we say!

Check out the newest guessing contest in the Henry Ford Centennial's Children's Department and see if you can guess how many marshmallows are in this cozy campfire scene.  Hurry, before those pesky critters eat all the goodies!
