I am a huge supporter of having all things made right here in America. However, let's face it, generally speaking things that are imported from overseas are typically much cheaper to make, and as a result have a lower price tag for the consumer, and even more so for Silver Dollar City who has to purchase the merchandise first at wholesale.
I am definitely not a fan of outsourcing, but sometimes that's just part of "staying afloat" in today's economy.
On a completely unrelated note, thanks to whichever website moderator pulled these message from the Silver Dollar City Museum thread. Our comments were getting a bit off topic there, but every time we all get together on here were like one big family at the dinner table.
