The last day at Silver Dollar City is similar to the last day of school before the summer break. You are so excited about next year, and advancing to a higher grade level, but yet at the same time you are a bit sentimental of the previous year.

There is something about watching Silver Dollar City close their doors, take down their decorations, pack up their attractions, and shut down their rides that just touches a special place in my heart.

However, just like the blossoming flowers of Spring, Silver Dollar City will awaken from a deep slumber, and entertain us again soon! What an incredible year.

My son in-law actually works for a company that is contracted out to bring cranes into the park and take down the giant tree.  I am not sure what other work they will do if any inside the park.  I told him to try to get me one of the 50th anniversary banners they have hanging around the park.  They probably would not be allowed to do this or they might all be spoken for.  But I thought it would be worth a try considering what a great souvenir it would be.

Pintrader...more details on a giant crane to remove the giant tree. Are you talking about the old treehouse attraction?

[pintrader]

No Junior I sure hope not anyway.  His company Ozark Crane is contracted out to take the giant Christmas tree down and do a few other things that he didn't go into detail about.  I never thought to ask him about the treehouse.  Let's hope that's not part of the job.

Whew, you guys about had my heart skip a beat! Sure, the old tree house is taking up valuable real estate, but shucks it looks so good there that they better not remove it anytime soon!

Taking down the big Christmas Tree sounds much more realistic, and reasonable.

[Junior]

Whew! Ok, thanks!

In dec. I took about 40-50 photos of the treehouse thinking that it was-no pun intended- on its last legs...I will post the collage on my art thread tomorrow.

That sounds wonderful Rube! I am glad to hear that you are going out on a limb to root our memories of the most famous tree in Silver Dollar City.

Ozarks's entry from January 4th spews the SDC "aura" I wrote about so long ago. Nice sentiment, Ozark!
