## Caption

This photograph of a backyard snowball fight at 123 West Lanvale Street in Baltimore was taken in 1895 and shows that having fun in the snow is timeless. Think back to your childhood, do you remember a time you were in a snowball fight? Maybe you started it by throwing the first snowball or maybe you saw a battle and you decided to join in. We’d love for you to share your winter memories with us. Your recollections may be included in our upcoming  exhibition “Losing Winter,” opening in July. 

Join us for a virtual workshop on Thursday, March 18 at 6 p.m. to record your winter memory. Register to attend using the link in our bio. 

If you prefer to submit your winter memory individually, instead of attending the virtual  workshop, please visit our website for instructions. Link in bio.
