I happened to be in Grandfather's Mansion on one occasion with my 6 year old son.....Terry came through as Mr. M. Balmer  - should have heard the screams from the kids in there!!!! All except mine...he had already met Mr. Sanders.

Welcome to forums CLWKC!

One of the great things about Terry Sanders is that he does not isolate himself just to the town square. He has a unique way of popping up all over the park! ;D

And I might add, shows up all over the area! according tto his website. A quite diversified individual.

We've run into Terry Sanders almost every time we've been to the park this last 5 days. We took a family photo with him. He was very kind and gave my family 2 of the buy one ticket get one ticket free cards to the Shepard of the Hills show. We will go to this before we leave Branson this trip. Thanks Terry. This will save us money and give us a chance to see the show.

When I was there he stood at the entrance to FITH as the undertaker. I said hi Terry ( he nodded) and then He  scared one of the kids in my FFA chapter. It was the best.

I was just there on June 9th and 10th...got there probably between 9:30 -- 10:00 both days -- and both days Terry was greeting people coming off the tram.

I went up and asked him "How long have you been here?"

"8 o' clock this morning" he said.

"No... :) really, how long?"

"32 years."

I told him I'd been coming to the park for 30 years, and he gave me his card.

Terry is very clever guy!

It's really quite special how he will personally greet guest as they depart from the trams, and buses. It really sets a great tone for the day!  :)

He could teach classes on connecting with guests. In the heirarchy of the park I would assume that he is indeed pretty high up, not just for years of service, but for his wealth of kindness and generosity, as well as his wealth of various characters and costumes/ personas!

When I worked at SDC, Shad Heller, Pete Engler (woodcarver), Ray Jones (Glassblower), Judy (candy shop), Bonnie (street troupe...later Miss Bonnie at schoolhouse), Judy and Richard Young (entertainment), and a handful of others were royalty. Many of those folks are dead or retired, some, like Judy, are still around. Terry has advanced to the rank of royalty, he has made it to "Master Entertainer" level. SDC honors long time employees with a "master" title for the entertainers and craftsmen. I'm proud to say I worked with him.

Does anyone know where this picture is located at SDC?
