About the host
Hosted by Ken VanSant
Having the opportunity to retire early due to her military career, followed by state employment, your hostess Susan (now better known as Omi) was looking for her next chapter in life.
On a drive to the PA Grand Canyon overlook at Leonard Harrison State Park one day, she was saddened to see the famous landmark once known as Animaland, which had been closed at this point for over a year, was becoming overgrown and in much need of attention. She also noticed a sign stating it was available. The challenge became clear, to bring this unique building back to life. By the fall of 2017 the restorations began, and by Memorial Day weekend of 2018 the doors were once again open under a new name - Omi of the Canyon. Concentrating on the gift shop and snack bar to get things started, renovations continued each year to offer more products and a greater experience to visitors. By the summer of 2024, Omi’s Hideaway was completed and is now available as a unique vacation rental.
