| Gordie.. wow, that's really interesting. I'd love to read about it all, but no matter how much I search that site I just can not find the information you speak of. Any chance you could provide some URL's or info on how to see the information. Thx..

I worked at Adenvture Town for some time as a 20-year-old and have written often in my newspaper column about those experiences--riding bulls in the rodeo, riding the train daily, the fabulous park opening each morning while firing shot guns from the thundering stage coach, getting shot everyday in the "High Noon" re-enactment, meeting kids and the parents from all over the world. It was the best.
I have done TV interviews with the late Arto Monaco who designed Adventure Town and all of the theme parks in the region. He related how he arranged for purchase of the first stage coach and showed me many of the original designs. I have memorabilia from those terrific times, including my own press photo.
Thanks so much for the memories and keep up the good work.
