“Visit Bobbi Carmitchell’s website at: http://www.bobbicarmitchellmusic.com/ for CD sales, bookings, or to share your memories of Rocky Springs Park. From her album, “County Wide: Song Stories From Lancaster County”, comes the nostalgic “Rocky Springs Saturday Night”. Written as a gift to her mother, Charlotte, this warm, sentimental song was derived from her Mom’s fond memories of Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s historic amusement park, in its heyday. As a very gifted folk singer/songwriter, Bobbi managed to capture the very essence of what was once Rocky Springs Park, in just 5 and a half minutes. Creating the video and attempting to fit all of the images into that time frame was not only a daunting task, but, a labor of love, as well. Many of the images are being seen for the first time … especially the video footage of the now legendary Wildcat roller coaster, that I shot while walking the rickety frame back in September, 1986. This video is dedicated to Bobbi, Charlotte, my family and anyone who remembers this whimsical wonderland. For a detailed history of Rocky Springs, please visit: http://www.rockyspringspark.org/
