SUMMARY:Martin's Fantasy Island Picnic - August 2
DESCRIPTION:Join us once again for a day of family fun at Martin’s Fantasy Island. We are renting a pavilion for our families to meet and eat under on Sunday\, August 2nd. Tickets include all day admission to the park and lunch. The park opens at 11:30am. Lunch will be served from 1 – 3:00pm and includes hot dogs\, hamburgers\, potato and macaroni salad\, and ice cream treats. Unlimited soft drinks will be served from 12:30-3:30pm. \nLast year the DSPG donated nearly $1\,000.00 to make this event fun and affordable. Due to your continued generosity throughout the year\, the DSPG will again absorb a portion of each ticket sold to keep the cost down for our families.  Tickets will be sold to our group’s immediate family members and Grandparents for $15.00.  The cost to families who already have season passes to Fantasy Island is only $8 per person for lunch. We ask that extended family members and friends pay $23.40 per ticket. This is still a discounted price for our group through Martin’s Fantasy Island. \nChecks made out to DSPG can be mailed to Bonnie Zon\, 222 Culpepper Road\, Williamsville\, NY 14221\, by Friday\, July 24th\, to allow time for tickets to be mailed back. No tickets will be sold at the park. \nAny questions\, please contact Bonnie at  bonzon1102@aol.com or 632-0137. \nLet’s hope the for warm and sunny weather so we can enjoy the opportunity to explore the amusement and water park together!
