Mrs. Koch's a 'cover girl'!
This morning, we joined Mrs. Koch at the Santa Claus Christmas Store here in town for a photo shoot.
She is going to be a magazine "cover girl," so we took along a video camera of our own.
Mrs. Koch was asked to bring several "looks."
This perplexed her a bit, as she's used to wearing "yellow and khaki," the Holiday World uniform.
Here she is cutting up, having fun, and smiling for the camera (we agreed not to show the photos as they were being shot -- or to reveal the name of the magazine).
All will be revealed in December!

For 2011: It's Children and Comfort
It's the moment you've been waiting for ... the answer to the question "What's new for 2011?"
Our president, Dan Koch, and his wonderful mom, Pat, have the answers.
For 2011, it's Children & Comfort.
,,,oh, and someone's 80th birthday!

Our third "#1 Fan Video Contest" finalist
According to YouTube, Daniel has never played a song on the piano before.
...so it took more than 100 "takes" to get this right.
We think Daniel's song is sweet and sincere. And that's why he's our finalist for Week #3.
Congrats to Daniel (his dad, Barry, entered for him) for winning two one-day tickets. Daniel is now a finalist, and could win four Season Passes for the 2011 season!
Are you our #1 Fan? You have one more week to enter our video contest and show us why. Look here to see our Week 1 winner and our Week 2 winner, then check out all the rules here. Good luck!

What's new for 2011?
We're not quite ready to tell you...
But we can tell you that Dan and Mrs. Koch made a video in which they tell all.
In fact they tell more than just what's new for next season.
Dan starts detailing his recent retinal eye surgery ... till Mrs. Koch reminds him why they're making a video.
Over the past few months it's been nice to see Dan go from referring on-camera to his mom as first "my mother, Patricia Koch," to the far more casual, "Ma."
Keep an eye here on the HoliBlog and our Facebook page; the announcement will be later this week.
