Hoffmann of the Month: March

The "Hoffmann of the Month" for March is...Hoffman's Playland!

You probably thought the Hoffmann of the Month would always be a person. Well, you thought wrong. As Spring approaches and we (hopefully) soon see the return of warm weather, I'm proud to honor this upstate New York amusement park. Checking out the website and a few YouTube videos, it seems to be one part Lagoon and two parts Babes In Toyland. In other words, it seems to be awesome!

In addition to all the rides and the arcade and the gift shop and the birthday parties, Hoffman's has its own, onsite Subway! But I'm more interested in trying their "fabulous fried dough."

I thought this was a good time to honor the Playland, because yesterday interviews began to hire this summer's crop of park employees. That's right, even as we speak, management is determining which 16- and 17-year-olds will be responsible for making sure your children are properly strapped in to the Jolly Caterpillar, the Tilt A Whirl, and the Red Baron. Don't worry though--they may be young, but I'm sure they're properly trained.

If you haven't already, click that first link and hit "PLAY JINGLE." It's the catchiest song you'll hear all month.

Here's the place
Where a happy face
Is as natural as can be


The carousel
Spins a magic spell
Makin' family memories


Have a holiday (holiday)
Feelin' good
Feelin' free
