Video of the Week: Summertime at Jellystone Resort

 With the summer officially here, a lot of you are probably thinking about places to get away and have some fun in the sun. And if you love Hanna-Barbera cartoons, you are most likely more than aware of Jellystone Park. For those unaware, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park is a chain of campgrounds found throughout the United States and Canada, with the first launching in 1969 in Wisconsin. Over fifty years later, around 75 parks are active, with each aiming to offer families a great time with Yogi, Boo Boo, and the rest of his gang. 

That brings us to today's video. Here's a fun little commercial for a Chicago-based Jellystone Park, which aired in the area during 1999. Unfortunately, if you want to visit this particular park, you're out of luck. It was rebranded to Sun Retreats Millbrook sometime ago. At least you still have 75 or so to pick from if you want to visit one!

  1. 1-800-GET YOGI sounds like a tip-line Ranger Smith would operate.
