General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Rhonda Vincent 5/8 and 5/9 SDC

Maybe its the way SDC is kicking off the Bluegrass Festival.!..

I know she has been in town for a few days,
was on Branson Country friday night.
And has made a couple of other appearances in the area..

Bluegrass and BBQ doesn’t start until next weekend

yes, I know.... starts on the 13th.. (thursday). 

No better way to kick off the  Bluegrass festival than to have Rhonda Vincent.. even though it was not promoted that way... But.......

City of Branson Mask Mandate end tonight at 12:01.(thursday night/friday morning)  it was the first thing the new mayor did, as he promised he would..

St Louis also now allowing bars and restaraunts to be open after midnight, as well as loosening the grip on mask mandate.

Thank God some sanity returns.  During a trip to Branson last week I noted the masks nor counts for the stores customers were even attempted to be enforced.  Most who want the shot have had it and the others have been ready to move on.  Branson would do themselves a favor to relax the issue.  Like any situation you will never please everyone and those going to theme parks are not the folks worried about someone standing 5 not 6 foot away.

 With the election last week,  They have a New Mayor (Larry Milton)..  who was an alderman and throughout this whole fiasco voted no for mandate.
Also 2 new aldermen.

they get sworn in tomorrow (friday), I would expect and immediate repeal by the mayor elect and ending the mandate.  I am told he has that kid of authority.  I hope so..

We will see..

Branson Talk / Re: Guided Tour Concept by SDC Attractions

« on: April 14, 2021, 06:41:25 PM »

depends on how they market it.. 

How and Where?

As long as they dont try to tie in with the new Shepherd Of The Hill organization, I would consider..

Would rather see Ducks brought back in somehow, new machines, redesigned, whatever...

Just saw where the PTB are extending the best benefits season pass purchase again till FEB 8. Must be getting a very slow response again this year. This is the latest it has ever been extended to.

Slow response?  I am sure with the unknown handling this year for the "plandemic"...,  and the increased costs of tickets... 
 I am sure there is a lot of thinking going on amongst buyers..   
Hindsight says maybe should have left this years price alone, and raised it next year....  oh well..

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: If you could bring back one show or create one show at SDC what would it be?

« on: January 05, 2021, 01:29:44 PM »

I wouldnt mind a rewrite of The Pinkerton Man...  But it needs to be an hour show.

Thank you! I was hoping to get up next week, but it wasn't going to work out for the whole family - so those days were all that was left the the family could make work.

Even with the new regulations in place - we've visited SDC more this year than most. Looking forward to 2021 and seeing how things go next year.

Thanks again.
Jay

Check the website..
there are special "shows" on all day long over the park.
I would guess the lights will be on to finish off the season..

Schedule for the 31st....     https://www.silverdollarcity.com/Daily-Schedule?selectDate=12-31-2020
