    A burst of colors during the season of darkness

    Another Halloween season is here, and with it comes the traditional photo of my son in front of the Ferris wheel at Knoebels in Elysburg Pennsylvania..

    Some other imagery from the October night..

  • The most beautiful time of year at the best place on Earth, Knoebels

    The most beautiful time of year at the best place on Earth, Knoebels

    I’d you have time you should make the visit.

    Thankfully this year the Elysburg Park is going to have Christmas lights for the first time..

    Good to know .. it is something to look forward to.

    Meanwhile a few images of Halloween at Knoebels on a cold October night last week.

    2020 is not complete without the plague doctor. Played by my son. It was his idea ..!

  • 90th Anniversary: Knoebels opens–and promises a new room of scares!

    90th Anniversary: Knoebels opens–and promises a new room of scares!

    Simply put: Knoebels is the best park in the state of Pennsylvania.
    Scratch that.. the nation..
    Scratch that.. the world.
    Need I go on?

    Perhaps there is a bias here. I have been traveling to Knoebels Grove since I was an infant.. I go every year–being about 25 minutes away helps.

    The park has free admission. Free parking. And yet with the influx of new people over the past decade, it has managed to keep its past in check. It still feels like home. No one ever frowns—-not one person who passes me by in the crowd seems unhappy at all.  Knoebels is an escape from reality.. it is quaint and fun. Good fun. And fantasy…
    And this year: It includes an extra scare.

    The haunted house at Knoebels is a fun little ride. Pizza first or after is fine, there’s a stand right next to it. Along with DipNDots ice cream.

    This year, for the 90th anniversary of Knoebels, it’s time to scream. The park promises new ghosts and a new room in the famed haunted house.

    The 90th anniversary press blitz has been a fantastic tribute to the success of this park… Make a trip if you can..

    The haunted house, for sure, will be on the list for me during my most likely MANY encounters with the park.

    And now that my son is 5, perhaps it’s time to acquaint him with the ghostly screams and beeping buses that the haunted house has to offer..

     

  • I don’t want to brag..

    I don’t want to brag..

    …But this was an amazing, wonderful, and memorable weekend. Not because of anything amazing but simply because it was simple.. Days at the park under blue skies with my son.. No plans, just winging it.. amazing weather .. Good food and fantasy.. 
    All of it was just memorable.
    And all without a phone. It can happen.

    Hope yours out there was just as fine..
    The summer season begins. 
    Now if only every day is like these days, I’ll love those days.
