FEATURE Buck Rogers ray gun shot a bid of $100 at Oberlin auction By Karin Milliman
HAMILTON, Ind. — By June 20, the people of Indiana were ready to get out and attend an actual live auction. Some wore masks and they were careful to still prac- tice social distancing, sticking close to the ones they came with. Even when the items began selling, the crowd kept their distance in respect to auctioneer Don Oberlin and his staff. It was a gorgeous 90 degrees outside, but the cloud cover helped to keep the sun in check and the Oberlin Auction staff was quick to keep the auction moving. The first item up for bid only interested a few bidders. But it was all good as the final selling price was $160,000 after a $120,000 opening price. It was the real estate the auction was held on. Sitting on a lot that measure 100 by 160 feet, the three bedroom ranch house boasted 1 ½ baths, and a wood shop. It was boiler heat- ed and had 1,512 square feet of living space. It also had an attached two-car garage and a shed out back. “We came to sell the property today, so let’s sell it,” said the family members who were present. There was some nice furniture offered up. Some of it was sold where it sat inside the home. A hutch in the dining room was the top selling piece when this primi- tive-looking piece brought a high bid of $250. It had spoon carving decoration and was in great condition. It came apart in two pieces so it was easy to move. There were two almost identical bedroom sets. They consisted of a tall boy dresser, the bed, a vanity and bench and one had an additional nightstand. Both of these went to the same bidder for a total bid price of $90. A secretary desk with a serpentine front was in great condition. It sold for $35. Two tables were sold. A smaller drop leaf one brought a bid of $30. The round din- ing room table had huge claw feet and came with three leaves for expansion.

FEATURE Dogpatch USA theme park lives on in souvenirs By Larry LeMasters Left: Mammy & Pappy Yokum, bobbing head COVID-19 has stopped most travel, but one-tank trips through the “natural state” of dolls, circa 1975, that Arkansas are still possible, so last week my wife, Sue, and I headed up Highway 7 to are valued at $30 each. visit Dogpatch USA, the abandoned amusement park, which took its name from the popular comic strip “Li’l Abner,” written by Al Capp. Dogpatch officially opened on May 17, 1968, during the heyday of the “hillbilly” craze in America when shows like “The Beverly Hillbillies” and “Green Acres” were popular and when everyone drinking Mountain Dew exclaimed, “Yahoo! It’s Mountain Dew!” Dogpatch USA’s owners, Recreation Enterprises, Inc. (REI) hoped to cash in on Disneyland’s success by opening a theme park in the Ozarks that poked fun at Arkansas’ hillbilly image. Realtor O.J. Snow, head of REI, was convinced that such a park would quickly become a money machine for investors, so he set out to convince Al Capp, creator of the “Li’l Abner” strip to license the characters and theme of his comic strip to REI, establishing Dogpatch and its comic inhabitants as the park’s theme. REI purchased 1,000 acres, including Albert Raney’s Ozark trout farm, for develop- ment. It would seem from the start, that the investor’s were acting just like an old coon Right: Original dog from Dogpatch, biting off more than they could chew, especially when one considers Dogpatch USA that Walt Disney only purchased 40 acres to build the original Disneyland. whiskey jug for When opening day finally arrived, a modest crowd of 8,000 attended. Al Capp gave a “Kickapoo Joy dedication speech. In part Capp said, “Of all the by-products of my strip, this is the one Juice.” I’m most proud of.” When asked about his involvement in the park, Capp stated that he was involved “in a mystical way.” Sadly, first year admissions to Dogpatch totaled just 300,000 visitors. And, based on park records, yearly visitation never passed 200,000 a year from 1968 to 1993. Dogpatch,
