Historical NotesPoster from Kennywood Park. Many different ethnic and school days were held at Kennywood Park. Many local schools, companies, and ethnic groups would have a Kennywood Day where ticket prices were reduced for that group for the day. Part of a Kennywood Park collection donated by Jason Belavic who was an employee at the park from 1988 to 2009. Belavic started out as a pot washer in the “Patio Café” and went on to work in various capacities throughout his time at Kennywood. From c. 1994-1996, he played “Kenny” the kangaroo. When items were being disposed of, Belavic would take them home and preserve them.
