For a limited time, Quassy Amusement Park will offer discount all-day ride wristbands to guests who donate items for charity.
Announced on Monday, the "Quassy Cares Neighbors In Need Weekends" will give all donations received to multiple organizations across the state.
Patrons can donate nonperishable food items, personal care items and toiletries or dog food or toys in exchange for an all-day ride wristband for a discounted price of $15.
“Our Quassy Cares initiative was a huge success last year in assisting community organizations, so we will be kicking off our season with a similar event,” said Quassy president Eric Anderson in a news release.
