Old West photo in the SF Bay Area?

Where could we get a kitschy, Old-West-themed group shot taken in the Bay Area next week?
The more elaborate, the better. Something just like this would be perfect. Also this. We are five adults, if that matters. Locations in San Francisco proper or the East Bay would be tops.

Isn't there a place like that in the Valley Faire-Westfielde-Shoppingtowne or whatever in San Jose? I coulda swore there was, but its been a few years.
check the malls, I guess.

Fairs are the places to find these booths. The Alameda County Fair just ended (or is ending soon, might want to check), but there are a few other counties who are going to be running their fairs this time of year, so check Marin, Sonoma and Santa Clara listings. It's after next week, but the State Fair is in August and would undoubtedly have these as well.

There is one at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk if nowhere closer.

It's a little bit of a drive from the Bay Area, but Old Town in Sacramento definitely delights in just this kind of crap. If you don't mind the trek out there, it's an option.

There is also one in Monterey (by the aquarium) if you happen to be down that way.

Yeah the Solano County Fair in Vallejo, right off I-80, is starting up this weekend I believe.

Response by poster: Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions. We won't have too much time (so no Sacramento or Santa Cruz), but the tentative plan is to hit up the Solano County Fair Sunday night. I'll try to remember to post a link to the photo if we get it!
