Drenched Fur Waldameer & Water World event Aug 22

By Gary Snyder, aka GarBear73

For five years now, the Drenched Fur Committee has been hosting the Erie's Bear Run in the late winter/early spring. And in response to requests for an outdoor/summertime event, the DF Committee has planned an outing to Waldameer and Water World on Saturday August 22nd. For just $17, you will get a combo pass for all the rides and slides to enjoy along with the other bears, cubs and admirers. We're inviting folks to join us for a BYOL (Bring Your Own Lunch) between 11am and 1pm. After lunch, we'll head into the water park for a few fun soaked hours and then enjoy for dinner the various food rides the amusement park offers. Then it's on to midway games and rides for a few more hours of enjoyment. One of the best options for Waldameer is that folks who don't care for rides can still join us for the amusement park portion for free! Waldameer does not require admission to the non-water park portion where tickets can be purchased for say just 1 ride if desired. Water World however does require admission. But for the group discounted rate of just $17, you can't go wrong! More details regarding the days events and contact information can be found by visiting www.drenchedfur.com or calling me at (814)384-0463. We look forward to having you join us!
