Sales of food, beverages, and photo supplies can take place here. A unique form of agri-entertainment is the little village run by Farn and Varlen Carlson of Stanhope, Iowa. The tiny community includes a school, general store, church, livery stable, and blacksmithy. The Carlsons hope to add a barber shop, telephone office, bandstand, and fire station. There is an admission charge for viewing all the buildings, and the Carlsons cater to bus tour groups.
Groups can also arrange to have barbecues at the village.
