Last year for KIDSFEST?
« on: January 09, 2013, 11:49:43 AM »
Just got our Silver Dollar City Times and it says "FINAL YEAR: of America's BIGGEST Kids Festival". Does anyone know anything? Fact/rumors?

currently there there is nothing to my knowledge of rumors/truths. Just time to change it out and bring some freshness in. I think it will still be a family/kid friendly fest. Lets hope the charecters go away. And the extreme heat.  ;)

Well...that must be Dollywood's Great American Summer - which doesn't appear to be much different than KidsFest.  Maybe it's just a change in names.

Best start hopin' for copious amounts of rain cause fireworks will depend on this drought we are mired in. It will not take long for fire bans to be put back in effect if they ever got lifted this winter.

True on the drought.  I was just thinking about the 4th last summer.  Our intent was to stay, but we decided to bail when people were being routed to the Expo because Echo Hollow was full.  How nice it would be to have many opportunities to see them.  We did enjoy Chateau's display, though.

Yeah Im sure SDC will find something "kid friendly" to replace "kidsfest" with.  As far as Fireworks and the DROUGHT is concerned. There are communities in the very county we live that has put a ration on water usage just last week.  With the weather being as hot-n-dry this winter as it has been (well maybe I should have said WARM "for winter" and dry). I cant imagine the ban on fires and fireworks being lifted this year.

SDC open till 10:30 PM.   ;)  Sure would be nice. Im not sure how that would effect the show at Echo Hollow.  Especially Thunderation.   But those rides are thrilling after dark. That is the ONE nice thing about SFSL.  Now if SFSL had better coasters to ride afterdark.  :-\
