Lake Compounce Job Fair Scheduled

BRISTOL — Despite the downturn in the economy, Lake Compounce Theme Park in Bristol/Southington is looking to hire approximately 1,200 seasonal full-time and part-time employees for the 2009 summer and fall season.

“We expect to see a higher number of applicants this year due to the large number of lay-offs being seen throughout the area,” says General Manager Jerry Brick. “This means we’ll have the luxury of being more selective than ever, and we will end up with a really terrific team.”
