2012: One Year in Business! Now, why are we doing this?

Everybody! Thank you for your great support! What started as the subject of a drunken conversation between two brothers sick of the typical work experience, and wanting to do something fun instead, has now become a real and growing business.

Now, for the question in the title: Why are we doing this? Why did we choose to do what we do?

Well, Pete and I have quite a bit of experience in the entertainment side of things. For nearly 15 years, we’ve participated in a number of different aspects and forms of the performing arts, including acting, singing, directing and producing. In addition to that, we worked for a number of years at various amusement parks. To say we understand fun and entertainment would be an understatement. So doing something like this which involves aspects of performance and behind-the-scenes know-how was a natural fit.

In addition to that, we just plain enjoy it! The smiles on the kids’ (and parents) faces is something to behold. I know it sounds cheezy and cliche, but its true. When you do something that makes someone else have a fun time, it really is worth it.

So, yeah, that’s why we do what we do. Sure, it’s often tiring work, sometimes involving multiple days in a row of set up and break down, but it’s all worth it.

That being said, I am DEFINITELY looking forward to what the next year will bring to Pete & Chris Amusements.

Sincerely,

Chris Paliulis, Co-Founder of Pete & Chris Amusements
