I'm guessing you were an Ice Cream Shop Girl™ :-) I started in *ahem* housekeeping, then moved onto the Midway for a couple years. Oh, and Heritage Park is the largest "living" historical village in Canada (North America?). It's got buildings from the late 1700's (Hudson's Bay Company Fort), through the 1800's ("oldtown"), and the early 1900's (Main Street, etc...), with staff representing life in the various eras. I've taken <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=heritage%20park&w=51035644987%40N01">some photos in the park</a>. It's actually a pretty cool place, especially if you dig beneath the surface a bit. Their website is all kinds of suck, though... Sarah – when did you work there?
