Kids & Family — the Rink, the Golf Craze, the Matinee, the Drive-In
The skating record: no rink course is documented for this ground
ITEM 4 · THE ROLLER CENTURY TESTED AT CANVASS AND REGISTER STRENGTH
Skating is the checklist's first amusement test because it is the one that leaves buildings — rinks are big, named, and remembered — and for Walkerton no rink building's course is documented in any record this run reached. The…
Miniature golf, both waves: neither the 1930 craze nor the carpet course is documented here
ITEM 5 · THE MISSING FIRST-CRAZE NAMES PRINTED AS THE FINDING, PER THE REGISTER'S OWN FORM
Miniature golf came twice — the rooftop-and-vacant-lot craze of 1930, when every town of a thousand had a Tom Thumb course by August, and the carpet-golf revival of the 1950s — and the register's own instruction for this item is…

ITEM 8 · THE YABA LINE BANKED IN FAIRS-CIVIC; THE REST AT ITS DOCUMENTED SIZE
The bowling chapter opens on the one hard line the banked set holds — and the line is a register entry, not a building. What stands: youth bowling's sanctioning record touches the town — the Young American Bowling Alliance's…
The camps, and the children's room: the county's camps at boundary; the library's room at its own course's size
ITEM 11 · NO CAMP NAMED FOR THIS TOWN'S CHILDREN AT REACHED STRENGTH
The leg's last test is the summer institution — the camp a town's children were sent to — and for Walkerton it closes the file in this section's characteristic shape: the experience general, the institution elsewhere. No camp …
