Joe Riccardi's
Caroga Lake "Museum" 6/01
You ain't seen nothing until you've checked out "Lil Joe's" Museum! Wow! I've never seen so many Caroga, Harley, Indian, etc. collectibles. At first glance it all looks like a pile of junk, but when you really start looking among his souvenirs you'll be impressed!
The following pictures only touch on a few of the many, many items and treats in store for you when you visit.
Joe said he'll give personal tours for up to 4 people at a time for only $60 an hour. :-)
Here's Joe, the "Curator", in front of his "Museum."
The "High Voltage Electronic Burglar System" really works as I found out when I saw a dog attempting to lift his leg against the building. PUFF! The dog and his wee wee were wiped out in a cloud of mist!
Joe and I go back over four decades! Yikes! I would be at his fathers camp playing my accordion while Joe's father would be on the drums telling some incredible jokes as he drummed along. After a few minutes I couldn't play anymore as I was laughing my butt off!
He's so very proud of his daughter's (Colleen Graves) new music CD "Taken By Storm." Rightfully so, she has a fantastic voice. You can even hear Joe's Harley (he had it on a dynamiter) as he revved up the engine in the "Motorcycle Riders."
