A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of odd backdrops or backgrounds.

Some of the signs and labels visible in the photo are:

"Gambling room down stares. No drinks served."
"Wild cat mine for sail chepe."
"Don't ask for no darn fool dude drinks."
"Old Crow, 2 bits a drink."
"Wite mule, 2 bits per drink, good stuff."
"Ky. booze XXX."
"Pabst Blue Ribbon on drought."
"Shiref's offis."
"Tanglefoot strate, 2 bits."
"Pabst Blue Ribbon, the beer of quality."
"On a slow train through Arkansas."

That's a real live animal! See Happy Hollow - Fun Photos for the Folks Back Home on the Arcane Arkansas History blog for some more examples of the oxen, donkeys, and horses featured in the souvenir photos at this attraction.

Thanks for the link, Alan. Quite amazing how many sets there were! (And how quirky the whole Amusement Park was!)
