Kalyn Magee, model-spokesperson for the “Giant Postcard Exhibition”, presents Tony Gorbatow of Hankins Fudge with a “Giant Postcard” of Hunt’s Pier. |
The December 2011 issue of “Amusement Today”, the leading trade publication for the amusement industry worldwide, contains the feature story titled: “Wildwood’s Hankins Fudge remembers shore heritage through ‘Giant Postcard’ series”.
The following is an excerpt from the story:
“Ken and Tony Gorbatow, the identical twins who have owned the sweet spot since 1977, are creating a trip back through time by helping to reinvent an iconic (albeit discontinued) Wildwood brand. They have acquired the first of a limited edition series of vintage three (3) foot by two (2) foot ‘Giant Postcards’ made from ‘Designer Series Postcards’ produced by Douglas Hunsberger and distributed on the island in the 1980’s. The image is now prominently on display as décor within the store.

'Some may have sent the very same image to a friend when it was actually on a postcard.’
‘Giant Postcards are fun and educational for all ages,’ said Ken Gorbatow. ‘The older generation feels like they’ve stepped back in time, and the young ones have a chance to understand something of their parent’s history.’

Other businesses in and around the Wildwoods have also acquired Giant Postcards to use as artwork. Giant Postcards are an unforgettable addition to décor packages for motel lobbies, restaurants and retail establishments. They are also unique conversation pieces and attractive décor for inside the home.
