A wonderful national organization called FAAN (the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network) announced this morning that Holiday World is the recipient of the 13th Annual Mariel C. Furlong Award for Making a Difference.

Here's more information.

This is a huge honor. The best award, though, is the sweet little faces of the children who were able to safely eat at the park with the rest of their family last summer. Here's an example of some of the wonderful stories we heard. And here's another.

Do you know someone with food allergies? Please let them know they can head over to our Restaurant & Food page to download this year's Allergen-Friendly Information Guide.

Many thanks to the Tri-State Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Support Group in Evansville, who nominated us for this award.
