I had the honor and privilege of attending the private party at Kiddieland for former team members and business associates yesterday (Saturday). What a treat for my daughters to have one last day of fun at their very favorite place, with only 500 or so people in the park, and no lines. Kiddieland's owner, Tom Norini, has been a wonderful friend to kidwinks, and we will miss him and his awesome park tremendously. Good-bye, Kiddieland! Thank you for the fun and memories!
