Knott's Bear-y Tales: The Complete History of the Whimsical Attraction | Los Angeles Public Library

Welcome to Knott's Bear-y Tales! Authors Christopher Merritt and J. Eric Lynxwiler will speak about their latest history book focused on a most amazing Dark Ride, built at Knott's Berry Farm in 1975 and still inspiring guests generations later. Follow the smell of boysenberries to a magical world of bears, fortune tellers, and some of the weirdest characters ever thought up by the mind of theme park designer Rolly Crump. Merritt and Lynxwiler sifted through several thousand images to write their newest book on the subject and will share images and stories from the making of the famed ride. Books will be available for sale after the lecture.
