Other Parks / Herschend to end partnership with Stone Mountain
« on: April 27, 2021, 06:28:26 AM »
The partnership between Herschend and Stone Mountain will officially end August 2022 according to this article.  It is not the sole topic of article, but it is mentioned.  Sounds like Herschend is just exercising its right to not extend the agreement due to the current “woke” culture that wants to cancel everything.  They (HFEC) are just excusing themselves from the situation as soon as they can.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / All-Season Dining on the Horizon
« on: February 20, 2020, 06:36:11 PM »
Corporate is treating All-Season Dining this year at Dolly’s Splash Country in a test run to see if rolling it out chain-wide soon is a feasible possibility.  Here’s a blog post about how the program at DSC will run this season.  Price points are not stupid high either, but the time restriction on when you can use it is not the best.  I can foresee long lines occurring as people try to use their passes all at the same time

BRANSON, Mo. — A major change is coming to what is known as Branson’s first show.

The famous Baldknobbers after-show manager, Brandon Mabe, fired his father, Tim Mabe.

Tim played a character named ‘Droopy Drawers’ in the show.

Brandon, Tim and his wife, Patty Mabe, posted their feelings about the family shake-up on Facebook.

Patty wrote asking for prayers because they had just recently filed bankruptcy trying to keep another of their businesses going.

She continued to write that she was in shock and grieving not only for Tim losing the job he loved but for the loss of a 60-year-old legacy and legend, Droopy Drawers.

In response to the posts by his parents, Brandon posted that he loves his father and that every decision is made with the best interest of the family, business, partners and cast.

Fans and friends of the Baldknobbers are passionately coming out on different sides of the issue on social media

“I don’t know all the gist about it,” said Dee Dee Sanders, a Branson resident. “But, I just feel sad because they’re one of our founding families and I hate that something like this would have to happen.”

“I’ve worked with the family for most of my life and it’s really hard,” said MaryAnn Rivero, Branson resident. “Unless you’re right in the middle of it..you don’t really know what to do.”

General Silver Dollar City Talk / JoDee Herschend
« on: November 26, 2018, 12:01:37 PM »
In case you haven’t heard yet, I hate to be bearer of bad news... JoDee Herschend lost her fight Sunday with cancer.  I don’t know all of the details other than she came home from the Mayo Clinic for Thanksgiving. 

Those who had the privilege of meeting this special lady in person know how big of a loss this is to the SDC family. 

Fly high, JoDee.
