Historical NotesSpin art from Kennywood Park. 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.
