Watch out, here comes Granpa Cratchet! Click on the picture to visit Eric's web site This high-tech game show entertainment system has
it all zany sounds effects, real digital scoring and
a lightning-fast electronic lockout system
(first player to hit the button guesses the answer).
A little old man driving a miniature model "T" across the fairgrounds with radiator squirting, horn blowing, and hoe down music blaring almost as loudly Granpa himself yelling "Howdy folks, welcome to the fair!"
Granpa calls it his "Ole Time Hucksterwagon".
The idea for the miniature truck came from a local grocery store on wheels that actually traveled the country in the late forties and early fifties. You'll always have lots of fun if you can work your way through the crowd of both adults and kids.
While the adults like the stories linked to the good ole days, the kids just seem to like the hugs and kisses Granpa hands out to every child. If the jokes and stories are not entertaining, just watch the faces of the children. Their rapt attention is focused firmly on Granpa.

Eric Dasher's Brain Wash
It seems like only yesterday that TALL TEX first ambled
down the streets of a small California town for a parade, and
now - this is TALL TEX's 31st Anniversary!
Requests for TALL TEX to appear at fairs around California
came from that first parade in 1979. In just a few years,
Don's "frivolous hobby" became a vocation instead of a
vacation.
Don soon became TALL TEX - the stilted entertainer instead
of Don Cassady - building contractor.
His personality and love for children (of all ages) have led
to the development of additional stilted characters over the
past 29 years.
