Don't remember the name of that ride in the 5th picture


That was the barrel ride. It was similar to the Gravitron ride at the state fair except riders could move all over the place.

Here are photos from the 50's of similar rides at Cedar Point and Coney Island:

Yep, 1974ish - Mom's Oldsmobile 98 broke down in Russellville and it took us an extra day to get there. I remember you could catch trout in a fake stream and they would fry it up for you.

When I would go visit my grandparents in Shreveport during the summer, they would take me. All I remember is being forced to eat a raw chicken leg by my grandma, my older sister intervened for me for the first and only time in my life, my grandma STILL insisted, and then was saved when a mouse scurried across a ledge of the booths. I was 5. That’s my memory of DogPatch USA. It would have been 1977.
