Jellystone Park in Frankenmuth Wins Award for Excellence in Camping Industry Frankenmuth, MI (March, 2007) - Erv and Marilyn Banes, owners, and Cindy Keinath, operator of the Frankenmuth Jellystone Park Camp-Resort, have been recognized with the "Jim Webb Spirit Award" by the Jellystone Park franchise system. The award was presented at the annual meeting of the Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort group in Cincinnati, Ohio . The Jim Webb Spirit Award, named after an individual who has played a major role in the success of Jellystone Parks, is presented to the franchisee who has embodied the same spirit, enthusiasm and commitment to the system as Mr. Webb displayed throughout his entire career. "Businesses are so often measured by their financial success that people lose sight of the spirit that helped achieve and maintain that success," said Cindy Keinath. "This award is about heart and how special it feels to operate a Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park and to be a part of the Jellystone system. Jim Webb represents the spirit of our system and we are grateful to be honored with his award." This year, the Banes family will celebrate their tradition of excellence with a 30 th Anniversary Weekend June 29 - July 1, during which all campers will enjoy free pancake breakfasts. The celebration will continue throughout July, with several free-lunch days offered to campers. The park's award-winning recreation program includes several new special event weekends for 2007, such as Awesome ‘80s Day, Boo Boo's Summer Carnival, What's Cooking, Big Splash Pool Party and Scarecrow Fest. New to the activity lineup this year are Sandy Candy Craft Time and Extreme Basketball.
The Camp-Resort, located in the old-world Bavarian Village of Frankenmuth features 260 campsites and provides the perfect family getaway with amenities such as an indoor swimming pool and hot tub, mini golf, game room, snack bar, loaded activity schedule and more - all within walking distance to the Frankenmuth attractions. The park is open year-round, with recreational programming running from Easter weekend through October.
