Each special visit will be different and unique.

“It could be just a Wonderland-A-Gram (like a telegram containing good wishes) or a Doorway Dance Party or even a Driveway Dance Party if space allows for it,” the park’s director of edutainment, Nikki Young said.

Each visit will practice social distancing and all mandated safety measures, Joy will be wearing a mask as well.

You can go to the park’s website to nominate a person needing some joy in their lives and beginning the week of July 20 the “Delivering Joy” team will start making visits.
