A Fantasy Farm Newsletter from 1977 has been found. The
newsletter, called "Family Fun News" was found with a brochure naming the
rides and activities at fantasy farm that same year. This is a great find
and you can find it here.
Cool Memory Donation: Hi
My name is Gayla Jones. When Fantasy Farm
was in the planning stages in the early 1960's, I was living in what was
later known as Grandmother's House. My father, John (Babe) Eisele had
worked for Edgar at LeSourdsville Lake as a lifeguard. I played with Chris
(Edgar's grandson) in the apple orchards and one time, we even
picked Edgar's prized plums and went around the neighborhood selling them.
That house was very unique. It had a very narrow curved stairway that went
upstairs to a large open loft bedroom area. Our dining room (which had the
walls torn out for the park) was right above the cellar door. We had to
move the kitchen table to get downstairs and do laundry in an old ringer
type washer. The house really lacked any modern amenities. My father
stayed with the Lake after the sale and when the park was getting ready to
open, we were told that we would have to move. During the next 10 years, I
worked for both the Lake and Fantasy Farm. I ran the Flying Scooters at
the Farm. I had moved away by the time that Chris was killed in the cave
in of the motel. But I can remember Edgar and Nellie. She always had a
handkerchief wrapped around her head as she was going to check the mailbox
and he was always in his cart. It is amazing how many memories your site
has brought back. I may have some pictures from when we lived at the house
and how it looked then. Thanks for letting me tell some of my story.
I would like to thank Gayla for sharing this great piece of Fantasy Farm History. The memory has been archived with the others on the "Memories" page here at the Fantasy Farm Memorial. Share your memories of Fantasy Farm by writing us at webmaster@fantasyfarm.org
