131th Birthday

 

2008 Birthday Party

The Phonograph's 131st Birthday celebration was held on a sunny December 6th Saturday afternoon that was note-worthy for two reasons - it wasn't snowing and it was the actual day of the Phonograph's birthday.

Since the the birthday party is normally held on the Saturday closest to the 6th this celebration on the actual day only happens every 6 or 8 years. Also of note, four"guests" were under the age of 18 months so that made it extra special and entertaining.
