When Mick Foley drops by …

Posted

What a day this has been! Our pal Mick Foley dropped by to check out Thunderbird testing – and we got to stream video live on Facebook for the first time!

The video is a little choppy, sorry … but it’s fun to see Mick (who’s in town with his one-man show; tickets are available through FoleyShow.com).

LIVE Video: WWE Hall of Famer (and roller-coaster enthusiast) Mick Foley is here to check out Thunderbird!

Joe and Mick Foley

We first met Mick (who loves roller coasters and really loves old-fashioned parks that are themed around Santa Claus) in 2002. To find out more about our friendship please click on the Mick Foley tag, below.

Podcast highlights

We’re halfway between podcasts, so it’s time for a video of highlights from the last episode:

Shocking, I know, that our “70 Degrees of Separation” game isn’t included in the highlights. If you want to hear who won the last challenge (hint, my three-year-old grandson, Cameron, kept shouting “elephant!” when we had the podcast on in the car), be sure to subscribe here.

Santa Claus Land Roller CoasterCongratulations to our winner – Jami W. from Bedford, Indiana – who wins four one-day admission tickets to Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari and two nights next door at Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort, in one of their Rudolph’s Christmas Cabins. Thanks to all who entered!

If you’re a loyal HoliBlog reader or a new Holiday World Podcast fan, you already know – we’re crowdsourcing 7,000 photos for a huge Memory Mosaic for our 70th Birthday season.

That’s a lot of family photos! But if you do the math, really … it’s only 100 photos per year. Easy peasy, right?

Now that we’re feeling a little less overwhelmed about this, let’s celebrate with a sweepstakes.

A “Making Memories” Sweepstakes. Because whoever wins will make a lot of memories when they redeem their prize.
