I'll send you mine! I used to have it in mp3, but I can't find it. Possibly, it's on my old nano somewhere.

« on: July 03, 2018, 11:48:45 AM »I wonder though if the removal of the guns isn't political based, but based on people's entitlement?
I grew up with guns, cap guns, rifles, pistols, etc. guns were in the house. My kids have grown up with guns, but still have a very high respect for them. But even with having the guns in the house, my children wouldn't ride the train for a long time because they really thought the guns being used in the show were a real danger. No matter how much I told them "all was well", it was just a show, they didn't care...........so we just skipped the ride.
I never complained to anyone that my child wouldn't ride the train - we just skipped the ride. But I think more people feel that they have a right to do something, and if something doesn't go their way, they want change. So if their child is scared or not getting to enjoy something others are doing because of a fear (or any other reason).....they let the park know about it.
So I wonder, if it's more about people's entitlement than political? Where I would say, suck it up buttercup to my kid....others tell the kid don't worry, we'll get this changed so you don't have to be afraid.....

That's a good thought that I had not considered before.

U Smell Smoke, so glad to hear you made it! I actually thought of you as we were entering, and I heard one of the ushers tell another that if there were any seats left after 10:30, they would fill them with visitors that didn't have tickets. I loved it and can't wait for it to air. I think you are right about the dates, and it's on TBN Sat. night 8/7C time. I just googled it, and apparently it's also on Sun. nights, and you can watch current episodes online on the TBN site, so yay! It will be interesting to see it after edits.

Today was a great day to be at the city as they celebrated Law Enforcement Day. If you were lucky, you had tickets to see Mike Huckabee filming his show at the Opera House. That was a very cool experience, and the entertainment was great with appearances by The Haygoods, Moe Bandy, Irish Tenor, Tony Orlando, Dino (carrot cake guy), the Presleys, and the new Governor of Missouri, Mike Parson. The Governor was a real surprise that wasn't announced earlier. It took about 2 1/2 hrs. to film, and I loved watching it play out. A very cool experience! Cell phones had to remain off and no photography, so I don't really have any photos.
After the show, we went over the Riverfront to see the K-9 demo. There was a short delay because...they were awaiting the arrival of Huckabee and the Herschends! They each spoke for a few minutes thanking all the law enforcement officers. After the demo, there was an ice cream social that I believe was meant for law enforcement and families, but I think nearly everyone walking by had ice cream. All in all, it was a very good day at the City today.

« on: June 11, 2018, 08:59:54 PM »Finally made it to the park today for my first visit of the year. Hot, muggy day that made shows even more attractive. Time Traveler was a walk on when we rode it in the afternoon. Wife and daughter walked right around and rode it again. Not really my kind of coaster. I can say I rode it though. Didn't seem very crowded to me today. A lot of rides were walk ons. Guess the heat kept some folks away. As others have said, FM looked nice but still no music. Went to PK first as it is my favorite. No surprise, it didn't open on time. Was saddened to see how much they have stripped back the craft demonstrations. Cedric mentioned this is their last year. Said it wasn't their choice and wasn't happy about it. But, his show wasn't real crowded and several people left during it. Be interesting to see what they will replace it with. Guess we'll go back tomorrow and try again. Mike Huckabee is taping his tv show there tomorrow at 11 in the Oprea House. Several locals gonna be performing on the show including the Haygoods and Presley's among others. Might have to check that out.
USmell Smoke, tickets are required to get into the Opera House. Not sure if they're still available, but they are free minus a $1 processing fee.

Law Enforcement Day tomorrow at the City! Free admission for law enforcers. Anyone going to see the filming of the Mike Huckabee Show at the Opera House tomorrow? There are also K-9 demos at Riverfront. Should be a good day!

I think that would be your best day (Sun. before). Many people in town, especially families, leave on Sunday for the drive home.
