WHERE'S ALL THAT WATER?

     WHERE'S ALL THAT WATER?

   Our family was at the Jersey shore
when we heard about the serious flash
floods that hit Pennsylvania recently.
One of the hard hit areas was Knoebel's
Amusement Park.
     We were a bit concerned since, upon
our return, we were scheduled to visit
the popular park for a birthday party for
my grandson.
      The park reopened in just about two
days but we were still worried about
how the damage might have affected
the picnic areas and attractions at the
popular park.
       That birthday celebration was
held yesterday and, sure enough, kids,
including my grandson found themselves
standing in water.
        But, wait a minute. The water in
which they walked and skipped stones
was in the very same creek that shut the
place down when the heavy rains hit!
         As for the attractions, there was
little evidence there had even been a
flood! I should not have been surprised.
          The team at Knoebels has come
back from several floods that would have
put many companies out of business for
good. They efforts are amazing when
you consider the messes they've faced.
            The place is a major asset to
our area and I hope it keeps going for
many years to come! If so all of their,
and their customer's, NEWS will surely
be good!
