"Long Island (NY) Game Farm about 1988"

Little John said...: I am most likely wrong, but is this a guy named Gary? A few decades ago on the way to Florida’s east coast did run a ride? I think I stopped once or twice on my way to the beach and he was hospitable to this amusement park ride goof. Recently didn’t I see a picture of him with a very large elephant, like prehistoric proportions? Again what do I know? As I get older do most of my sentences end with question marks?; 28 October, 2011 18:58

DanKoehl said...: This place was new to me, as elephant holding. Which elephant is it? Did they have more than this one?; 06 November, 2011 21:16
Buckles said...: I'm not familiar with that place either.
The elephant was booked into the park for the Summer and owned by Gary.; 06 November, 2011 21:30
DanKoehl said...: Thank you Buckles, then I guess it may be the bull Artie (Aardvark), sold by Scott Riddle in 2007 to North Carolina Zoo?
(Another Arthur Jones elephant.)

operates summers only & dates back

to the 70s mostly as a kiddie park

& petting zoo with a few larger

animals brought in on contract

It used to be in Manorville out

in Eastern Long Island & likely

to be there still; 06 November, 2011 22:07
