Childhood Memory / Family Tradition - Stacey Garofalo

One of my favorite childhood memories was when my mom took my sisters and I to downtown canton at the Palace Theater to see the movie "Annie". I was 7 years old when the movie came out. I remember going into the theater and was in awe. I thought it was a real palace because of the way it looks inside. This movie became one of my favorites and still is!

It has also become a family tradition. I have watched this movie so many times with my own daughter and all of my nieces! I have bought the movie for each of them. It is so neat to watch with them. We have all memorized all of the songs and sing them when the movie is on! It was really neat because this past summer they did the musical Live at the Canton Players Guild. I took all 6 of my nieces and my daughter to see it on stage. We all sang along and had the most awesome time. Even my youngest niece who is three sings the songs and loves it! I was so happy when we saw the play and I spent more time watching all of the girls’ faces than I did the show! I can’t wait for another niece to be born! And I hope that all the girls will carry on this tradition with their daughters!
