That’s right…. you heard it here first!    Lucy the Elephant is running for president, and don’t assume she’s republican simply because she’s an elephant.  Lucy is in a party all her own, and YOU are invited to celebrate Lucy’s 143rd BIRTHDAY PARTY when the official announcement is made on Saturday, July 20, 2024 from 10am-8pm. Join us for a fun-filled day of food, rides, activities, and much more!

This year we will see the return of our Miniature 9-Hole Golf Course, a favorite for many years now. Party-goers will also remember our Money Booth from last year’s party where you can raise some campaign money by catching as much Lucy Bucks as you can — and possibly even win one of our special prizes included on every turn!  Beat the heat (and the other candidates) on our 22-foot waterslide that will send you soaring in the pools. Purchase one of our “Lucy for President” Collectible Birthday Tees and make-your-own button pin to complete your look for the campaign trail.  You can even cast your vote for president — we have a feeling Lucy will win!

Since it IS a birthday party, we’ll be singing Happy Birthday to our dear Lucy at 3:00PM when you can get a slice of the birthday cake to enjoy (while supplies last)!
