Our friends over at Vintage Roadside, preservationists and chroniclers of vintage graphics from the 1930s – 1960s, blogged about their time visiting Jake the Alligator Man for his birthday bash a couple of weeks ago. Be sure to click to see the photos, which defy description if you weren’t here to see with your own eyes!One of our favorite projects here at Vintage Roadside is having the honor of designing the t-shirt for Jake the Alligator Man’s Birthday Party each summer.
For those of you not familiar with Jake, he’s one of the star attractions at Marsh’s Free Museum in Long Beach, Washington. Marsh’s, open since 1935, is a true piece of roadside history and one of our must-see places. Everything from taxidermy to vintage penny arcade games as well as plenty of souvenirs to take home.
Huge thanks to Wendy and the Long Beach Merchants Association for throwing one of the best parties of the year! To encourage you to start making plans for 2012 here are 20 random photos from the celebration.
