How about one more walk back in time before the 2014 season begins? Let's go back to 1979, and see some photos from the SDC employee newsletter that show people and places on the park...a month by month look at a few highlights for SDC. Also a couple of photos pulled from local newspapers for some things that would debut in 1980.

Some things you will see: A juice cart from which the fruit shaped plastic drink cartons were sold from, Shad introducing the Susan B. Anthony quarter, A banner day when 20,000 guests came through the turn styles, filming the Stan Hitchcock Show at the Courthouse Theater, construction at a new park called Whitewater, the old basket shop (current inspirational painter art gallery), and Senator John Danforth visits SDC.
