SHOW & TELL: Here, There, virtually Everywhere

Free monthly Show & Tell event where everyone is welcomed to bring an object of personal significance, then show and tell about it.

“SHOW & TELL: Here, There, virtually Everywhere,” hosted by personal historian, Deborah Tomasetti Perham, is a free monthly event where everyone is welcomed to bring an object of personal significance, then show and tell about it. Objects can be as ordinary as a ticket stub or as unique as an ancient artifact. Those who prefer not to participate are welcomed to be part of the audience. Show & Tell is typically held at the Commack branch of the Smithtown Library at 3 Indian Head Road in Commack. Find details here: A Lifetime Legacy Show & Tell.  

Can’t make it in person? The unique feature of this storytelling event is that you can participate from virtually everywhere in the world…courtesy of your webcam. (The day of the event, we’ll email you a link to simply click and join.) Show & Tell isn’t just about the objects. It’s about the stories. Any restrictions? Nope. If you’re 18 years old, you’re invited! 118 years old? Invited! C’mon over, meet new friends, share stories, connect generations, and preserve those memories.

“SHOW & TELL: Here, There, virtually Everywhere” was inspired by Deborah's friend, Martie McNabb, who hosts monthly Show & Tell events in Brooklyn and on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. If you’re local to either Brooklyn or Manhattan, be sure to catch one of Martie’s events. They’re such great fun. (We are proud to announce these events are endorsed by the Association of Personal Historians.)
