The East Prairie opened on March 25, 1954, based on articles in Sikeston MO’s Daily Standard. It was owned by Earl Ferrell and Geraldine Twitty, and its playground included “rides, hobby horses, swings, pony ride and other features.” The opening program was a Bugs Bunny cartoon review and the film “Jivaro,” starring Fernando Lamas.
