About a year ago, Claim Jumper restaurants redecorated. Among their new artwork, I noticed old images from Knott's Berry Farm mixed in with those of real miners. Examples at their Fountain Valley branch included this enlarged 1950s postcard of Roy B. Bryant at the "Pan for Gold" entrance. (Now the entrance to the Ghostrider rollercoaster.) Bryant played the role of an old grizzled prospector at Knott's in the 1950s and '60s. .
In response to yesterday's post about Knott's, the always-helpful Jennifer Blazey writes, "We are not tearing down anything on Main Street. We are just re-habing the peek-ins to restore them to their original form (or as close as we can get it.)" That's good news indeed! Thanks for the correction!
