Everything you need to know is on this page: http://festivals.bransonsilverdollarcity.com/mini-section/default.aspx?id=55

There are no rumors or secrets.

The season pass prices won't be made known till they go on sale in early November.

My husband and I are expecting a raise in the price of the passes. Good heavens gas prices are getting out of hand. :o And because of that food costs are skyrocketing.  :-\ Just to cover those costs will surely mandate a raise.  :'( I'm sure they'll do everything to keep any price hike to the bare minimum.  :)

I still think the early SP price will be 71-73 dollars to compete with years past... we will find out in about 60 days or so..

I'm with you, Sanddune - I don't imagine they will raise the price much.  They have quite a lot of renewed interest in the park.  They are going to want to get as many people in there as possible; a big price increase will knock a lot of visitors right out of the market.

I thought someone said earlier that "It's A Wonderful Life" is going to be in the Red Gold Hall.

I want to go to OTC this year. I dont know if I will have the funds. I considered a bake sale, lol. I have NEVER had the chance to go. My small family I know will adore it. Maybe my note taker paycheck would pay for a trip and dinner at the city.....maybe. If gas does not go down it will take the whole dern thing to even make the little under two hour trip.

Granted it, that list is subject to change - but that is the current line up.
I would imagine that Pure Heart would show up somewhere, but have not heard IF and/or where yet

I love that the Living Nativity has been moved to Riverfront Playhouse. I never liked the broadway rendition they had going on at Red Gold. Hopefully that will change too, along with the venue.
Of course, my favorite Living Nativity was the simple one that took place behind the Wilderness Church. Everyone sat on bales of hay and watched. That was many years ago.

When we attended OTC a couple of years ago, one of our favorite shows was Pure Heart with Tracy Heaston. We actually watched them 3 times. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back this year (not going to happen though).

Any word on what the holiday ornament is going to be? Looks like I'm going to miss it by one festival again this year. I meant to come down this weekend and make it to the Harvest Festival, but it looks like that won't be possible.

According to this week's entertainment schedule, Pure Heart will be performing at the Gazebo for 4 shows during the day.  Tracy Heaston will be performing 4 shows at the Gazebo late afternoon through early evening.  The tree music will be turned off during Tracy's shows.
