This would be my first stop on the trip back. A man named Dan Sawatzky and his Imagination Corporation. He's an artist to put it simply. He's mastered the materials required to bring his visions to life, and his visions come from a world of fantasy and imagination.
Ever wonder who that guy is that creates the theme signs and environments at amusement parks and mini-golf courses. well it's guys like Dan. But he not only builds them he works in them and soon will live in a home of the same inspiration.
Well known for his drawings and murals, dan is a master signmaker to boot. I met him at his shop in Yarrow near chilliwack, which looks more like a magic castle from the outside, not to mention the minature pony's and railway. Dan travels around a lot giving lectures, and workshops on new fabrication techniques, as well as a worthwhile stop at Disneyland, who would love to steal dan away his own projects. But Dan Loves life and Loves the life that he lives just too much to work for anyone else.
He gave me a tour of his giggle ridge mini-golf at Cultus Lake not far from his home, a lot of detail went into this place and nothing gets in the way of Dan's vision. He makes Dreams a reality. To see more of his creations check out his website, at the Imagination Corporation
