A BIG RETRO Roast & Toast of Mobile Home Park Life & Style. Your imagination will be inspired and your spirit will soar!

“Hold to your party hats,” says retro pop culture expert Charles Phoenix, “you do not want to miss this time travel adventure extravaganza!”

Thanks to a thrilling stash of eye-popping vintage Kodachrome slides documenting the wacky and wondrous world of Palm Springs’ Sahara Mobile Home Park, this slide show is a classic 1950s & 60s kitsch fest like no other!

Get to know the spirited park residents living the dream, basking in their delightful décor, warm-weather fashions, perky potlucks, theme parties, kitschy contests, quirky clubs, fun-in-the-sun sports, poolside antics, dedicated drinking, holiday festivities, divine drag shows and more galore!

Your imagination will be inspired, and your spirit will soar!
