Joyland Amusement Park To Be Sold At Auction
By Marvin Zeigler
Joyland Park, in Wichita, Kansas, is to be sold at a Sheriff's auction
at 10 A.M. December 15th. Hopefully someone will buy the park that can
afford to fix it up and then be able to keep it open. Then maybe we
can enjoy the Wurlitzer Mammoth organ again.
The park has been closed much of this season so we didn't have very
much of that great Wurlitzer band organ music this year.
