History of Funland
|
||
|
||
[ACwAAAAAAQ]
|
||
|
||
It all started as an innocent vacation to the beach, back in 1961…
|
||
|
||
Allen and Don Fasnacht, their wives Jean and Dee, and their parents Al and Sis
|
||
visited the place that was to become Funland during a trip to the Delaware
|
||
seashore in August of 1961.
|
||
|
||
|
||
At the time, the family was operating a small “picnic park” near Harrisburg,
|
||
Pennsylvania, called Willow Mill Park. Being the park people that they were,
|
||
they visited the Rehoboth Beach Sports Center, as it was called when the
|
||
Dentino family owned it. While they were talking about the ins and outs of the
|
||
park business with Mr Dentino, he asked if they might be interested in buying
|
||
the Sports Center. Yeah right, was the thought not spoken, but that was going
|
||
through the Fasnachts’ minds. Mr. Dentino affirmed that he was indeed
|
||
interested in selling the business and that the Fasnachts should think about
|
||
buying it.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Think about it is exactly what the family did when they returned home. It
|
||
became a recurring topic in the Fasnacht family. They called Mr. Dentino and
|
||
decided to go through with the purchase.
|
||
|
||
|
||
By March 1962 everything was falling into place, but so was an unusual area of
|
||
low pressure off the East Coast. This storm never developed into a hurricane
|
||
but was the lowest pressure system ever recorded for the area. Settlement on
|
||
the park was to be on March 15, 1962. The Great Atlantic Storm hit on March
|
||
6th, devastating the entire eastern seacoast. The Fasnacht family traveled
|
||
down from Hershey, and the Dentino family came up from Florida to assess the
|
||
situation. Both families agreed to go ahead with the deal after they worked
|
||
out an allowance for the damage.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The rest is history: expanding the park here and there, adding rides and games,
|
||
and buying adjoining properties for the growing family and their children.
|
||
From the original 1st and 2nd generation, there are now over twenty 3rd and
|
||
4th generation family members who are directly involved with the business.
|
||
They, along with over ten 5th generation members coming up closely behind them,
|
||
are all continuing that heritage that began half a century ago!
