That's the main ticket booths. That pond is still there.

I see it now. Building looks different somehow though.

That is the SDC I remember.  There was something more intimate about it then.  Maybe it was the times.

The video pictured above is from 1990. I have a copy. It was about a 20 minute long "Howdy and welcome to the city" type thing. It was more of a promotional video that possibly aired on the Vacation Channel or at trade shows or something, not really a great or wonderful video...but, it does showcase some of our old SDC citizens...like Terry Sanders and a few others we have all come to know and love over the years. Most of the people pictured in the video have moved on, but Danny the Minstrel featured in the video is of course Danny with the Front Porch Pickers.

With the book, you are again in the late '70s. SDC had a board game, some coloring books, and some kids books. Most, if not all, produced by Wiskur and Company located in Harrison, AR. Wiskur and Company may have also done some of the big street maps they had for sale at the time. If you find any of the stuff mentioned, you better hang on to it. Not much exists anymore.
