We would like to thank the staff at Holiday World for the great, first-time visit July 7 & 8, 2009. We would especially like to thank and commend two of your workers who went above and beyond their duties.

While visiting the wave pool located on the back side with the bigger beach area, an employee named Daniel gave us a plastic baggie to keep our money dry. My husband, Dennis, had asked if there was some place close to get a plastic bag to keep money dry while in a fannie pack we had purchased earlier. Daniel provided us with our request. He was very pleasant and every time we saw Daniel working, he always acknowledged us and spoke in a very friendly manner. We offered to buy his lunch for his "good deed of the day." However, Daniel informed us he could not accept this. I realize, being a nurse, that no gifts can be exchanged for job duties. He should be well recognized for his outstanding employee appreciations.

Also a worker named Stephanie, I believe her name tag said, as well as supervisor, had spoken very well of Holiday World and made recommendations for our 7 yr daughter as far as rides were concerned. We had run into her the night before while eating pizza. We informed her that we would be at the park again on the 8th and to say "hello" if she saw us.

While visiting the next day, upon leaving the Mexican food area, we did run into Stephanie while she was working. She was sweeping up the park area. She should also be recognized for her efforts, well mannerism, and the fact she speaks in great terms when speaking of Holiday World.

I say KUDOS to both. Sometimes tourists take employees for granted and do not take the time and effort to recognize their efforts.

Thanks to all, God Bless and see you next year for sure or possibly this year again.

Oh! I almost forgot our 3 month old miniature daushund, Mr. Reggie, was well taken care of at the kennels and all whom worked there were very polite as well.

Sincerely,

Dennis, Cheryl, Kalea (K-lay-uh), Mr. Reggie K.
