EW Hobbs

I'm amazed at that fact that they have been in business for such a long time (over a hundred years). Even more amazing is that they have always kept the business in the family. Nowadays traditions seem to be a dying thing. I loved the feeling that I was getting quality popcorn that has been perfected over many years. I got a very homey feeling from that part of the park.


One of the things that surprised me the most about what Uncle Charlie said was that Salem Willows used to be the home of a small pox hospitals in the 1800s. Apparently the park got its name from the willow trees that were planted for the patients to walk by. From hospital grounds to an amusement park Salem Willows has come far. Hopefully people will still come back for their popcorn for years to come.
