After I read a comment on another post (by Andymeets1880) I began thinking,
Other than a season pass, what would you buy IN Silver Dollar City with $500.00?

Is there something you always look at, but never buy?
Is it 1 big thing?
25 small things?
A combination of random things?
You have to spend it, so just guesstimate on the prices. And Have Fun spending!!!

I might hit the furniture store, but I'd only be able to buy part of something.

We already do spend it. That's about what is costs for 6 of us (with 3 teenagers) to eat and drink in the park.  ;D

Seriously, I would love to have about $200 worth of t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats, The Beverly Hillbillies DVD ($20?),  another $100 of souvenir cups, mugs, etc., and the rest on jerky, taffy and fudge.

I'd like to by one of the grandfather clocks at the furniture store...however, I don't know if $500 would be enough...More like $5000. I also really like the large framed carved "Hymns" at the woodcarving shop...the fire place mantles are cool at that shop as well...

Woodcarving shop. Furniture Factory. Blown Glass. Pottery. I'd have a house decorated SDC style! (Did you know/remember that when SDC built a hand hewn log cabin around '81 that they fully furnished and decorated it with SDC handmade products? They offered the whole thing for sale at the end of the crafts festival that year. Uh, no buyers. The cabin currently is your Apple Butter shop.)

I would first get my sarsaparilla, and jerky fix for the day this means one of each kind!, and with the 475.00 left I would buy all of the apple butters and salsas I never purchase, the 3-5 lbs of taffy I always want, some kettle corn, and a lemon ice, and since I would be FULL by this point, a nice end table, or nightstand from Heartland Home furnishing, a vase from the glass blowers, some fudge and red hot jawbreakers for mom, and I would round out the day on the lantern cave tour.

I'd be broke, but man would I have a good day!

rube,  you forgot to arrange someplace to sleep!!  after that day, I know you would need a NAP!!!

History Buff

I think a nap on the back porch at the homestead is what's called for in that situation.

Barefooted.

With a hound dog.

Who here thinks, as I do, that SDC should serve actual possum, turtle, and armadillo?

history buff...  think i will stick to beef,chicken and pork...   But if you can get them to do it!!???!!!!

rubedugans

Yah, a nap would be in order, or a trip to the city doctor for the tummy ache I'll have after the food. Maybe I'll end up in the First Aid area on a cot, or I could actually try to sleep on one of the beds in Heartland Home Furnishings!

I am so Cheap that it would take me a week or two to figure out how to spent the $ in a way that would get me the most Hand Made SDC stuff.
