Update: this thing is awesome, and perfect for upstairs where my record player is not. My kids were disappointed it wouldn’t take us to ”the dinosaur age” but thought it was pretty cool once we found shows on their birthday-month/day.

In August 1972, the Springfield Creamery hit a financial rough patch. Owners Chuck and Sue Kesey had been in business for more than a decade and just introduced a new probiotic product called Nancy’s Yogurt.
