They used to have private picnics at Wenona Beach. One time I sneaked into the Eaton Manufacturing picnic. I entered the pie eating contest and won third prize. I won a dollar.
took our annual school 'picnic' out there. remember as a young girl going out there w/ my parents to see 'The Ink Spots; a popular group in the mid 50's. LOVED that Jack Rabbit. Is it safe to go in the water these days?
I remember Harry Jarkey comedian appearing a Wenona Park Casino Harry celebrated his 99th birthday 11 Aug 2012. (Noticed posted Bay City Times 17 Aug 2012)
Nice to see a part of Bay City history, as I was born and raised there. Only complaint was the narrator-very jumbled, no annunciation, difficult to understand!!

my dad used to go there to see big bands in the 30's and 40's. He saw Frank Sinatra perform there.
I was very young when I rode the Jack Rabbit. It was a short ride, but what a thrill for a seven year old child!
my name is Kevin Batzer, and my parents often told me about Wenona Park
I grew up in Bay City, and I can remember going there as a boy with my family. Great production. Good Job
In 1951 My dad owned the roller rink. Before I was born, but I heard all about it.
