"The giant wooden Native American figure to the east of the building and the huge Yogi Bear statue to the west of the building are widely recognizable to anyone who has traveled through the area,"the Explore Venango reports.

“People come by, even in the dead of winter when there’s five feet of snow, and will crawl up there to get their picture with Yogi,” owner Doreen Anderson said.

Testimonials from Yelp:

"Parkers is by far the cheapest (money wise) gift shop in Cook Forest. The clothing you buy there lasts years (unlike other more expensive shops). The people are friendly, the shop has a lot to offer. They even have a "panning station" where kids can be kids. I found it kind of cheesy, but my niece LOVED it. Ended up leaving with a hoodie, a kids t-shirt, some candy, and the gems for less than 35 dollars. Can't complain about that. All in all Parkers is the place to visit."

"I have gone to Parkers for over 30 years now. Cook Forest is a second home to me and my family and I have made dozens of purchases at this store. It's a tradition to stop every time I visit Cook Forest. I can honestly say it's the best store around for gifts or anything relating to Cook Forest."

"They also have a big'ole stature of Yogi Bear for a photo opportunity! So even if you don't buy anything, stop and take a photo! My parents used ot make me pose for one every year, and now I have ones from college, with my husband, and one I took after I bought my first car!"
