The end result is Connie’s Photo Park, a joyful roadside attraction along the famous Turquoise Highway. The park features dozens of life-size face-in-a-hole signs, all painted by Connie herself using materials donated by friends. Here, you can pose as an alien, an Easy Rider or a set of hippies or stage a photo in front of a old Western cantina.

You’re encouraged to dress up and bring your own photos, and then leave a donation at the door when done. The park is also rentable for memorable special occasions.
