General Silver Dollar City Talk / Pumpkins in the City

SDC may have a new marketing campaign for the fall.  Pumpkin nights to be renamed Pumpkins in the City?  You can see the trademark application logo on the USPTO website.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / 1 hour Your 3 must see

« on: March 26, 2020, 09:04:10 PM »

Just a bit of distraction.  The game is you have 1 hour in SDC.  What 3 things would you do or see.

For me it is the classics

1.  Flooded mine - a far cry from its original glory, remember when it had two loading channels, and the spray of near the end, water that shut off just before your ore boat got to it?

2.  Peanut brittle demonstration-  I don't think this has changed for 50 years.  Still the same number of grains of salt used.  I still laugh as hard as ever at the jokes (floor samples!!!)

3.  Finding the Marshall to be made a deputy sheriff.  After 40+ years of visiting he still gives me my pin and has me swear to do good.

These times might be a bit scary, and deserve attention, but take a break and share your top 3.

SDC Memories/ Park History / Old crafts

What crafts or skills would you like to see brought back to SDC

I would certainly like to see the split oak baskets, broom makers, and even a wooden jon boat being built.

Does anyone know of a pre-shootout video of the flooded mine?

SDC Memories/ Park History / sheriff pin

« on: April 09, 2017, 06:13:38 PM »

Did the sheriff pin alway say Silver Dollar City or SDC?  I am referring to the 1970's or very early 1980's.  I have a few pins that are old but they could have come from anyplace.  Thanks
