Sights and Sounds of Euclid Beach

Euclid Beach Park Now is about to embark on the FIFTH reunion event at the Euclid Beach State Park. This event keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. You have got to see this event! Two weeks to showtime!

Come on out from 1:00 to 5:00 pm on Sunday, September 27th at Euclid Beach State Park.

Here are more details about the event from Elva Brodnick, the President of Euclid Beach Park Now:

Welcome to our Fifth – yes Fifth! – year of bringing you
Remembering the Sights & Sounds of Euclid Beach Park.

2009 also marks the 40th Anniversary of Euclid Beach Park closing, September 28 1969.

It all began rather innocently really.

Back in 2005, Carol Ward, our local State Park Naturalist, approached EBPN with the idea of doing “a little memorabilia event” at Euclid Beach State Park. Have EBPN bring out a few Euclid Beach pictures and signs maybe, let people come and enjoy remembering the Park, nothing elaborate you see . . .

Yes, well . . .

But then we got to thinking . . .

What if we put signs with photos up all thru the Park showing where things were at Euclid Beach? And since we’ll have the signs up, hey, we could also take people on guided tours around the Park. And can we get “Frozen Whip” there? Humphrey popcorn balls and candy kisses?

How about we lay out the Carrousel right where it ran at Euclid Beach?

What about the Rocket Ship Car? Or the Thriller Car? Other “Euclid Beach” things?

And wouldn’t a car show be cool, The Cars we Drove to Euclid Beach, showcasing cars 1969 (when the Park closed) and older. (Which is in its 3rd year.)

Then Laughing Sal showed up last year (and enjoyed herself immensely!)

So here we are again. We’ve grown every year, and have had a huge lot of fun bringing the 1500 to 2500 (in 2008) of you to “Euclid Beach for a Day”. We figure we’ll be doing this for years to come – just as long as all of us will be Remembering the Sights & Sounds of Euclid Beach Park.

Thanks for your support!
