67-Year Old Keeping Busy at Sesame Place



by KYW's Lynne Adkins
 
It takes a lot of energy to keep up with Elmo at a Bucks County theme park, but one of the workers came out of retirement to do just that.
 
67-year old Joan Dragolic of Yardley feels right at home in Elmo's World at Sesame Place in Langhorne. She's been there for four years singing, dancing and driving floats:
 
"I'm working with mostly 17, 18, 19 and 20 year-olds and they say 'Joan, how long are you going to work here? I say do you think I could get the down the parade route with a walker? They laugh and say probably!'"
 
Joan was working full time, but decided to cut back to three days a week because her grandchildren missed her. Her days are long -- up to ten hours in the sun and heat -- .but she says once the music starts, you can't stop her from moving.
