Visiting through the years

First off I was very excited to get the web cast of the 2006 plans!

When I was small (I'm 41 now), we used to visit family in Ferdinand and one of our traditions was to go to Santa Claus Land.



We always went back to Hammond, Indiana, with stories of seeing Santa in the middle of summer in our bathing suits and we had the pictures to prove it. We eventually moved to Dubois County and made so many trips to the park I can't count them.

I introduced some of my friends to Holiday World when I attended Marian Heights Academy; they were impressed with how much there was to do even back in the '80s when the park was still small.



When most of my family eventually moved back to the Chicago area and started families, we didn't realize that Santa Claus Land/Holiday World would become a big part of our continuing family traditions. We make it to the park at least twice a year when we get down to Jasper to visit our sister. We have pictures of us in front of Santa's statue in the '70s and now we have pictures of my nieces and nephew in the same poses.



I love the park and continue to direct family and friends to the "Original Family Theme Park."

Keep up the great work.
