The Jim Owens name originally used at the float trip, was retired for many years at the park. Later, possibly in homage to the old float trip, the name was brought back for the Jim Owens' Fish Camp restaurant on the Riverfront. You'll probably notice the Jim Owens' waterwagon, too, where you can get a nice cool drink of water. That's located in the Riverfront just a few steps away from the restaurant. The Dugan name, as in Rube Dugan's Diving Bell, has been brought back in the Riverfront area, too. The Dugan Trading Company is the new sign there, and that merchandise shop which is lakeside, will open in a few weeks. By the way, for a rundown on who Jim Owens was, check out the top entry I made in this thread. You can see float trip photos by clicking on my Flickr site and going all the way back...you will have to wade through some old diving bell photos, too. The Dugan name was something somebody made up. Owens was a real person who was important in Branson history.
