Jay and Leslie Cady of Laughing Matters are here for our first Family Play Date! This week is election-themed as we head into election season! This week, Jay and Leslie explain the Electoral College and how it works. Learning about elections for the first time? Want a refresher on how the Electoral College works? Still not quite sure how the 2000 and 2016 elections worked? Just like some educational fun? This is for you! Next week come back to learn about gerrymandering, and why your votes for State Representative and State Senator might have a big effect on your state's congressional maps! Don't forget if you are 18 years or older and are registered to vote, make sure you have a voting plan! (Early voting just started in Rhode Island today!)

Jay and Leslie Cady are back for more Family Fun! This time enjoy an old-time radio play with some fun whistle twists!

Jay and Leslie provide a little fun with some hat juggling!
