A yr in the past right now, Atlantic Highlands teen Persy Arcement was pitching retailer homeowners in Monmouth and Ocean counties to promote the board game she invented.
This previous weekend, she was making that very same pitch to executives from Disney, Hasbro and Mattel.
Persy’s recreation, “Drizzle,” is a contest to construct the right ice cream cone (with toppings, in fact). It simply made a splash on the Chicago Toy & Recreation Honest, an annual conference for toy trade leaders and entrepreneurs. On Saturday, Persy was named Younger Innovator of the Yr on the Toy and Recreation Worldwide Excellence (TAGIE) awards in Rosemont, Illinois.
