How to Become a Genius at Cracker Barrel

PEG GAME: OLLIE QUALLS STARTED MAKING HIS PEG GAME IN A 10’ X 10’ ROOM IN LEBANON, TENNESSEE. EACH GAME WAS DRILLED AND INK-STAMPED BY HAND, THEN DELIVERED TO THE CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE IN THE FAMILY PICK-UP TRUCK. AS CRACKER BARREL GREW, SO DID OLLIE’S BUSINESS. TODAY, MORE THAN 400,000 QUALLS AND SONS PEG GAMES ARE SOLD EVERY YEAR.

                   HERE’S ONE WAY TO END UP WITH 1 PEG LEFT (THIS WILL MAKE YOU A GENIUS!) THIS IS MR. GORDON’S WAY:
