Corky

I've been a little lax in posting lately, so I thought I'd pull out all stops and offer this postcard of a stunt-boating clown named "Corky".





There isn't much information on Corky on the internet, however it does appear his look changed and he picked up a girlfriend based on this later postcard.


Cypress Gardens opened in 1936 as a botanical garden. Over the years, it became one of Florida's largest attractions featuring stunt water skiing.  The park changed hands and visits declined in later years.  It closed in 2003.  Over the next 6 years, it was redeveloped as an amusement park and changed hands again before closing in 2009.  It was purchased and redeveloped as Legoland in 2010.
