Ken Noltensmeyer’s eyes light up as he talks about the concepts of creativity, imagination and the part they play in the design and execution of his display. Visitors are enveloped in a 2/3rds acre fantasy story where kids are dazzled, and adults can’t help but become kids again.
One couple got engaged here. Ken’s wife Nora starts with full sized butcher paper drawings, and concepts come from fairytales, everyday life and kids who ask “why don’t you have a...?"
