[head]: Step right up! Its Founders Week, June 21-28

[body]: This week we celebrate the two men who created millions of happy memories at
Silver Beach Amusement Park Logan Drake and Louis Wallace. These two shipbuilders
founded this magical place along Lake Michigan in the late 1800s, which helped put St.
Joseph, Mich. on the map. Once located down the road from the current Silver Beach
Carousel, the park entertained children and adults of all ages from 1891 to 1971 with its
rides, games, boxing matches, bathing suit contests, dances and sandy beach.
This week, were continuing our Founders legacy. Please join us:
