It's our sixth year with this game, and we have still yet to run out of stumpers.
Get ready for a season full of NEW surprises.
The last 2 seasons Pintrader was the champ...we will see if he can successfully defend his titles and have a three-pete!
You can look at the last season or two of the game to see it in action:

It is one of the most popular boards on the forum. From time to time, on a very irregular basis, so no one can predict and lurk waiting for the newest clue, I will post a picture of an item, a sign, or a portion of such. The first person to correctly identify its location in the park gets a point. It will start...today!!!!, and end on the last day of the season or thereabouts!...start studying folks!

Don't know where this is...but I'm ready to see the entire sign. Could this be one of the "employee service" signs that has an employee name in it to celebrate their corporate anniversary? (See the Terry Wayne Sanders sign around the back of Mary's Sandwich Patio, the Springhouse, that is.) This may be my pal Bill Hensley's sign, he has been with SDC over 30 years.
I guess we'll have to wait and see Junior!
I'll show the whole thing when we are done for you also!
The knife shop?
I've decided that's the wrong shade of red - the barn swing.
Or - the 1881 hotel where Jed and Granny hung out on the upper porch.
The train station??
Red Gold Heritage Hall?
Horse bridge
Train station?
We have a winner, and despite Ozarkwoodcarvers several attempts....it was....

The next will be posted later this week, so stay tuned!
D-ohh!
That's okay Ozark! There'll be many more chances!
That bright red threw me off.
I'm pretty sure this sign honors Bill "Moose" Hensley, one of the guys I worked with in the old days. Moose, as we call him, was a regular at both the train and diving bell in the late 70s and early 80s. He now works in maintenance and operation. God bless him! He is a wonderful man, and was active for several years in the Young Life Christian Program that SDC still participates in.

On second thought, is it one of the hand carved candles at the Candle Shop?

Fire In The Hole, Que-line?
DollarCityBoy, that was my guess, too.
I'm going with the candle shop.....
How about in the General Store...
Grandfather's Mansion?
Actually, I doubt that's in Grandfather's Mansion. I think I'm gonna go with the ticket booth area instead.
Guest relations? That drywall with texture is a kicker.....
Had never seen these before either...I understand your confusion...keep-a-guessin!
Old train depot store?
It is in the old train depot store.

Just a note, We're missing ya, Rube. Been a while. Maybe others could help... anyone got any pictures? Gotta get my fix.
Although it knocks me out of guessing, try this one:
Midtown, accross from Grandfathers Mansion.
This was the former Pottery Shop chimney.
Yes, perhaps that one was too easy.
Thanks! I'll post an update tomorrow next round coming soon!
Lemme have just ONE more shot - Rube you can play this one too!
Next to Wilderness Church?
I have finished the renovations in the house, and am back to school/ coaching, etc...not much free time, but I will work on being more regular with the game for ya'all!

I'm guessing that this is in the Ozark marketplace.
BTW, thanks Rube for keeping this game going for as long as you have. I asked other people for pictures not to take anything away from ya, I just know how busy you are, and figured you might need the help.
I don't know how recent the photo is that Rube posted. It looks like one of the little temporary workshops established for a festival, maybe the fall crafts festival. It's obviously taken outside, as I can see the sky. It appears to be a woodcarving booth of some sort. That's about as close as I can get. Any takers?
I would agree that it's a craft booth, musical instruments, and in front of Molly's / the Miners Diner.
take this summer. It could be a reflection....or not...just sayin'!
Looking out the window in Cowboy Jepp's?
outlaw run, by all the clocks
General store
It is settled. Looking in a window...but where???
Tintype shop???
Back side of the old woodcarvers, now Christmas Hollow, building
The greatest gift store?
These flutes are by a company called A Day4Song. Is there a new day4song shop now?
Perhaps in that little store just before the railroad tracks down from the Frisco Barn - I think there was a corn broom store in there for a while, and the bookstore moved there for a year or two before they went out.

Fire mans graveyard fire in the hole?
Second thought - that looks like a sand cast sign at the blacksmith shop....
Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the crates at Outlaw Run.
Yep! Wolfie has it! OR Queue

leather shop?
On the outside of the building right by the Corkscrew Overpass... I believe it is still full of Jack Dawson Paintings (I almost bought the giant 50th Painting!)
I'm guessing by the wire jewelry shop.

Surely not... That'd be too obvious for Rube.

;D That's the point! You know...hidden in plain view!
Not unless they have moved locations! I didn't see the right answer yet, another day or two and we'll move on. Though this shop has changed in the past year or two, this signage has stayed the same...
On the merchandise store in front of the lumberjack camp?
On the store next to the Waterboggan tower and across the street from the Boatwork's theatre.
Christmas shop? I can't think what moved, but I know you're giving clues!!!
Mountain woodcarvers shop

That's the old Christmas Shop. That's the building I was referring to.

Schoolhouse.
Fire-in-the-Hole
Come to think of it - the lighting looks a little odd. The office in the que line for the flooded mine?
Love My Country
McHaffies Homestead - Where the Pickers Play in the Winter?
Flooded mine queue! Inside the main building with the talking "hologram".
I want to say school house but I don't recognize that lantern....
Because he corrected himself so politely...Woodcarver has it!
