Hello Sportsshooter,
Kiddieland was an amusement park specifically for small children that recently closed it's doors for good. I got to shoot the final day at the park. It felt like being part of the end of an era. Small parks like this are closing all over the US. This part of Americana is being lost to the bigger and flashier theme parks. It's a shame to see a place like this close.
Sincerely,
William DeShazer
