About a month ago, Funtown/Splashtown USA in Saco, Maine announced that difficulty in staffing the park properly and safely would force them to close on Monday and Tuesday throughout peak summer months. The news was met with dismay, especially after Funtown/Splashtown had been closed for the entire 2020 season. While Funtown/Splashtown may have used traditional methods in attempt to staff their park, nothing works quite as well as the Maine community coming together to get things done.

Where Did Funtown/Splashtown USA Find All Their New Employees?

Shared on Facebook by Funtown/Splashtown USA, a surge of qualified applicants has allowed the park to alter their decision to close Monday and Tuesday each week and move to a 7 days per week season. As they explain in their Facebook post, many of the applicants were long-time guests of the park that couldn't stand to see Funtown/Splashtown be closed, even if it were just two days a week. The hiring process isn't complete yet, as Funtown/Splashtown continues the search for ride operators, lifeguards and EMTs.
