Bob Baxter

In The Game Hollywood Park in Crestwood, Illinois, part of Family Entertainment Group's portfolio of parks and attractions, celebrated a major milestone last week as Bob Baxter, the "Esteemed Maintenance Guy," turned 90 years old, according to a press release.

Baxter has been an integral part of the In The Game Hollywood Park team for 24 years and most likely the oldest member of the Family Entertainment Group family.

He primarily works Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to noon, and maintains an impressive range of skills, including plumbing, electrical work, painting, building and odd jobs. He is particularly skilled at maintaining the bumper cars and mini golf course.

"We at In The Game Hollywood Park and all of Family Entertainment Group want to thank Bob for his years of dedicated service and wish him a very happy 90th birthday! We hope to have him with us for many years to come," the company stated in the press release. "Happy Birthday, Bob!"
