An unprecedented and historic shutdown of the amusement industry will be our only topic this month. COVID-19 has had a devastating effect on the worldwide economy and on the places that bring us together as ACE Members.
This episode tackles how you can pass the time while sheltering-in-place and more importantly, how you can help your local park(s) when they re-open.
