Madison Town Column: Old Home Week to be held Aug. 7-15

I was told once of a time, long ago, at the home of my grandparents, a hearts game was lost by my grandfather, John. If anyone else was in the room, they were made aware of the loss by his gathering of the board and cards and heaving them into the fireplace and going to bed.

If you’re wondering how effective and extensive genetics are, I’m here to tell you I’ve inherited both Grandpa’s temper and talent for card games. This talent has been on display at the Madison Old Home Week cribbage tournament. After losing in the first round at the inaugural event in 2019, I’m looking to rebound this year on Aug. 9 at Burke Field.
