Barefoot Charlie, who really did go barefoot most of the time, summer and winter, ran a restaurant and tavern, Barefoot Charlie's, on Highway 45 just south of Land O'Lakes. It operated in the 1940's into the 1960's. His unique bar was contributed to the Land O'Lakes Historical Museum for display about 2006. In August, 2007, Land O'Lakes inaugurated a Barefood Charlie Fest--a day of fun and music. Action, August 2007, P. 59.
