More Knott's Berry Farm Including Monkey

More images from the family riding the burros, this time showing more Ghost Town. The first is the loading area for the burros. I like the sign for the information map on the right hand side.

The next two show pictures of the organ grinder and monkey. I love the organ grinder's shirt.

Last shot for today shows the crowd forming before a gun fight. My favorite guy is the cool cat in his pumpkin shirt and sunglasses.

    "Nice Monkey".. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. A little too close for me.

    I like the older couple right in the third picture. He's just come from an audition from Guys and Dolls, She loves that coral dress cause it matches their 1957 Bel Air to a "T".

    Those are great, I love the photo of the load area for the burros.

    Looks like the monkey's name was "Shorty"! I sure wish we could read the baby's mind: "That's a weird looking kid!"

    Nice. I don't remember the saloon's balcony ever being open to the public. What year are these from?

    That monkey bit me on the hand after I gave it a nickel when I was 10 years old. Bad monkey.
