While cleaning out my parent’s home I found a package postmarked 1963 from Santa Claus land.  In it were a brochure and some free passes.  My father was in construction and we were never able to go on a summer vacation.  However, in 1963 when I was 8 years old there was a strike and we took a 3 week road trip to Disneyland in California.  That was the last family vacation we ever went on. 
 
My mother must have sent away for information from other places and she kept the Santa Claus land envelope in a box with maps and other things from the California trip.

I, my wife, 11 year old daughter and 13 year old son finally made the trip to Holiday World last weekend.  We presented our passes at the ticket booth and to our surprise you accepted them!  Our kids have been going to Six Flags every year, and they both thought Holiday World was a better park.  We plan on making it an annual trip. 

Better late than never,

Alan V.
