Attention all Chosen Few fans: There is a reunion concert scheduled Sun. Nov, 27Th! They will be performing 2 shows at Moon River Theater, 3 and 7 P.M. Come out and celebrate 20 years with the group. Scott, Ashley, Casey and Brian will be there, along with some wonderful memories. Hope to see you there.
A friend and I will be there for the afternoon show. I hadn't heard of them until she showed me a video of them. I can't wait to see them now!
I hope it is a good show, and all attending will enjoy.
However, I wish "summertimefun" would actually come, and join in on the many forum discussions instead of creating an account, make one post to promote a show, and then disappear.
Oops..didn't mean to respond in a personal message. I am new to this board, so please excuse the post. I thought this place was for former SDC employees, which Chosen Few falls into. They were the headlining act at Echo Hollow for many years. I have posted on other forum boards before, which is how I found this one. I have posted in other topics on 1BransonBoard, so please excuse the fact that I only have made one here. I am a former SDC employee from 1985-1989, so I know a few folks on here, as well have worked with many outside the gates of SDC over the years. I apologize for having to defend myself for making a post, I guess I should just keep my thoughts to myself if that is the kind of welcome I receive.
WELCOME!!!!! summertimefun glad you found us and i am looking forward to hearing from you more ....
Every so often someone will take advantage of this website, and use it for promotional purposes only.
I encourage you to most definitely pull up a chair, and join in on all of the conversations about the Ozarks. This website is like a family, and although we look out for each other, we also welcome new ones with open arms.
Hopefully you are here to stay. If so, welcome to SDCFans.com!
summertimefun...WELCOME! Not only is this forum a place for past and present citizens of SDC, it is a place for obsesed people who love the park & grew up going there! ;D
We welcome your input, thoughts, suggestions, and memories of SDC. Please continue to read our post, and chime in whenever you like! I remember Chosen Few very well, and have several of their CD's including some Christmas ones which are my favorites.
We adore Chosen Few. God chose to move them each into different ministries but the concerts will be such a blessing. Thank you God for giving this opportunity to see them again. A real treat.
welcome summertime fun! I cant wait to hear off your knowledge! I love the stories/previous experiance/"secrets"/in and outs/history that everyone brings to the table and I bet a funnel cake that you have a crap-ton!
I remember Chosen Few at SDC; the group followed the Branson Brothers and played the Echo Hollow shows as well as serving as the in house gospel group. When they left, they were replaced by the Cumberland Quartet. Occasionally Chosen Few has reunited and come back to SDC for performances but it's been awhile.
Received some sad news via e-mail from Chosen-Few.
"Dear Friend,
NEWS
On January 2, 2012, Ashley & Michelle Ellison, along with their two daughters and Grandpa Clell Byler, lost their home to a fire. Everyone was unharmed but it was a total loss.
At this point, they have a place to stay and plenty of clothes. They would like to say thank you to everyone for their prayers and support. If you would like to help Ashley and his family with a love gift, please send it to:

Obviously, Ashley and his family are dealing with a lot of things right now which make it impossible for them to respond to every phone, text or email right now. Please be patient with them. If you need to get them a message, feel free to call Brian's office and all messages will be given to Ashley.

Please continue to pray for the Ellison family. More information will be posted as necessary.
God Bless!"
