Fourth Annual Domino Toppling Extravaganza
Monday, February 21, 5:30 p.m.
 Three years ago we discovered the YouTube videos of brothers Mike and Steve Perrucci, who were building and then toppling quirky domino courses in their home in Perkasie, Pennsylvania. Turns out the courses weren't the only things the brothers were building. All the dominoes they used were hand-cut and hand-painted.
 Sufficiently intrigued, we invited Mike and Steve to come to Brattleboro to build and then topple a custom-made domino course in the main gallery of the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center. Neither they nor the throngs of eager onlookers who packed the museum for the toppling were quite sure what to expect. Suffice to say, the event was a huge success, which has led to the Perruccis returning to Vermont every year since.
 This year's toppling will feature nearly twice as many dominoes as last year, and the Perrucci brothers will be assisted by two young, up-and-coming topplers. Correctly guess how many dominoes are set up and you could start the entire chain reaction! Oh, and that's not all... We've just learned that WCAX-TV, Channel 3 out of Burlington, Vermont, is sending a satellite truck to the museum so they can broadcast the toppling live!
We hope you'll join us.
Doors will open at 4:30, and the toppling will happen shortly after 5:30. No reservations necessary, but arrive early to get a good vantage point. Admission is free for children 8 and under, $3 for BMAC members, and $5 for all others.
