Barefoot Charlie Hasse Builds a Nite Club in Wisconsin
Barefoot Charlie Haas had big feet and big pine trees growing up inside his Barefoot Charlie's Nite Club. There is a photo of him watering his inside trees with a watering can. He also had a working slot machine installed inside a large dead bear. Charlie was the builder, furniture maker and the owner. Charlie passed on in at the age of 79 in 1970, and the wooden joint burned down in 1988.
It looks like at least one sizable piece (a table and chairs) resides in the Northern Waters Museum.
