York Wild Kingdom recent video of family business 1945-1981 Animal Forest Park, Maine

It is heartwarming to see families still getting a laugh from our old family business. "He designed the only glass/mirrored funhouse in the state with a mechanical moving Hawaiian hula girl on the top of the funhouse. People would stay for many hours, mainly because they couldn't find their way out."
Our father Sam Spector passed several years ago..here is some of his article will post more later..

"Once a week he would drive to Boston to pick up a load of fish so the customers could feed the sea lions A friend of Sam’s was a toll keeper on the Route One Portsmouth Bridge. One time he pretended to pay his friend the money, but instead slapped a fish into his outstretched hand"

"We never knew what he would bring home. Once he traveled to the Old Steel Pier in Atlantic City and purchased 600 ornate show girl costumes and hats. He had them trucked down to his home in North Miami Beach so that his children could play dress up with them and then trucked them up to the park where he used them to dress the different mannequins he had in displays all around the park and zoo. "

'Before the zoo was built, he had a huge cage in the amusement park with monkeys. Every Monday was Monkey Birthday Party Night. He would climb into the huge cage with the monkeys and give them a birthday cake. He would play with and imitate the monkeys while in the cage. Hundreds of people would watch him go through his monkey shenanigans every week and would roar their approval with laughter and applause. "

Sam was born Dec. 4, 1914 in Boston, Mass., the son of Abraham Spector and Ida Eppleman Spector. His parents, who emigrated from Russia, brought their children up to be very family oriented, industrious and self-reliant. Sam attended Boston schools while spending many wonderful summers in Old Orchard Beach with many other family members.
He and his beloved twin brother Max Spector both learned the value of hard work during the depression. Those teachings never left Sam during his life right up to his final days. Sam developed an entrepreneurial spirit and at a young age entered the business world in Old Orchard Beach. At 10 years old, along with Max, he worked for his sister, Anna Sudenfield, in her food stand under the world famous Old Orchard Beach Pier. His next job involved running the games for Anna's husband, Jack Sudenfield, who owned the games in the Whiteway on East Grand Avenue. Sam's first business venture with his brother Max was a penny arcade at Palace Playland. He designed the only glass/mirrored funhouse in the state with a mechanical moving Hawaiian hula girl on the top of the funhouse. People would stay for many hours, mainly because they couldn't find their way out. They owned the arcade on the corner of Main Street and East Grand Avenue for many years and the general consensus was that it was the best arcade on the beach with the finest prizes.
In 1946, he and his brother started looking to expand outside of Old Orchard and purchased land on Main Street in York Beach. They built another arcade there and then purchased a large tract of land at the top of Main Street where they designed and built the York Beach Amusement Park. A few years later they added a cageIt is heartwarming to see families still getting a laugh from our old family business. "He designed the only glass/mirrored... more
