NEVINS AMUSEMENTS-1979

IN 1979 BILL AND I WERE LOOKING FOR A CHANGE IN OUR ROUTE.
WELL WE FOUND IT!
NEVINS AMUSEMENTS, OUT ON LONG ISLAND, WHERE OUR FRIENDS THE HARLOFFS HAD BEEN PLAYING WITH FOR A FEW YEARS AND WE HAD MET THE NEVINS FAMILY IN FLORIDA SO WE THOUGHT WE'D TRY IT.
WELL WE JUMPED OUT TO THE ISLAND FROM WILLIAMSPORT, PA WHERE WE HAD BEEN PLAYING WITH FUN CITY SHOWS.
WE TOOK THE GLASS HOUSE AND GIANT SPIDER SHOW.
THE NEVINS FAMILY WERE VERY NICE TO US AND WE STAYED UNTIL THE FAIRS STARTED. WHILE OUT THERE WE SOLD OUR GLASS HOUSE TO BILL NEWTON.
SHORT JUMPS, WE NEVER LEFT THE SAME TOWNSHIP THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE!
THIS WAS THE COMBINATION OFFICE AND CONCESSION TRAILER.
MRS NEVINS SOLD THE MOST DELICIOUS NY STYLE HOT DOGS!
SHE MADE, AND WAS VERY PROUD OF, HER OWN SAUCE.
THEY ALSO SOLD THE COTTON CANDY AND POPCORN OUT OF THIS UNIT.
NEVINS AMUSEMENTS IS STILL GOING STRONG!
