At Astroworld, in Houston, Texas, back in 1999, Bugs
Bunny celebrated his 50th birthday-
But Astroworld didn't make it to its' 38th one, I'm sorry
to say.
.
But the memories will go on and I hope that I've sparked
a few-
I'm sure there are so many more, that you could add too.
.
Grinning smiles on every child and adult, season passes,
metal detectors, concerts, funnel cakes, the Shadow On
the Wall, the walk over the 610 from the parking lot to
the park.....and so on.........and so on.......................
