Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Knoebels Amusement Park, a legendary family-based institution located in Elysburg, Pennsylvania. Knoebels started from very humble beginnings in 1926. What began as a simple gathering place along a roaring creek has turned into a top amusement park in Pennsylvania and throughout the Northeast. I especially want to recognize Mr. Dick Knoebel and the entire Knoebel family for their dedication to Pennsylvania and to making very happy and lasting memories for so many. Knoebels recently earned two prestigious Golden Ticket awards from Amusement Today for best food and best wooden coaster, which I highly recommend, for the Phoenix. These awards are the pinnacle of recognition in the amusement industry. Knoebels is truly a place where families come together from around the country to create lasting, memories, and I was very, very happy to host my first annual constituent appreciation picnic at the park just this last month. Madam Speaker, I congratulate the entire Knoebels family for making Pennsylvania the happiest place on Earth. ____________________
