A new dream for an old theme park in Newton County

(AP) — Dogpatch USA, the Li'l Abner-themed amusement park in Newton County, Arkansas, has a new owner with a new vision for the property. About 10 miles south of Harrison, Arkansas, the remains of the park are visible from Highway 7, just beyond an empty, faded marquee and padlocked gate. Since August he's been working hard to clear overgrowth. Workers uncovered flower beds and water fountains that were hidden under thick vegetation, The Baxter Bulletin (http://bit.ly/18Vuhsj ) reports. Eventually, the Village of Dogpatch will be an off-the-grid ecotourism destination with gardens, orchards and a vineyard, Pelsor said.
