Hot Sam's Antiques & Foto Park was opened in 1985 by Bobbie "Jake" Hood and his mother, Gladys Hood to sell the antiques that Gladys Hood had amassed over her lifetime. Kathy Sakyr, Jake's significant other, is now a co-owner with Jake after Gladys passed. The park is filled with eclectic antiques that people love to come and be photographed with. and the pieces are sometimes rented out as props for theater pieces. The store is a log cabin, and it is filled with unique antiques, such as old circus wagons, a great white shark, and a 2-3 story refurbished guitar. Some of this may not be in the store itself because of size factors. Be sure to say hey to Alley-Oop, the resident dog, while you enjoy the oddities.
