I just squeaked via the "contact us" link as well.

Got an email response on 10/7 from Tara McCoy, merchandise supervisor at SDC. She said that the lye shop would just shut down for the season at the end of October due to weather conditions (as usual). She thanked me for supporting lye soap.

Anyone else get a response?

I have yet to receive a response, but I hope that's true!

Now that I think about it, when I went during Old Time Christmas last year, the soap making was shutdown, but the booth was still open to sell what they had recently made.

Hopefully, the soap will continue! Otherwise, there will be some really smelly people around here.

I was wondering if any of you use lye soap for laundry purposes? I've been mixing my own powdered laundry "detergent" for quite a few months now. Currently I use Castile soap, but I was wondering about lye soap instead?

I make my own liquid/gel laundry soap and use either grated  Ferls Naphtha or Zote soap in it.

Response today on my FB question..  Lye shop will be back next april..:

"""The Lye Shop always closes at the end of Fall Festival due to outside temperatures. Soap can still be purchased in the General Store and the Ozark Market Place. Lye Soap will reopen with the start of World Fest on April 5th, 2014. Thanks""""

I sure hope this is correct. I'm also wondering if that means there will actually be soap making or just selling out of the booth?

My grandmother used it for everything: body, hair, dishes, laundry, and everything else in the house.

That's one of the reasons the smell of lye soap at SDC is such a memory trigger for me.

I need to get some next time I'm there for a kid I got that keeps getting into poison ivy.

I used it for years, until my doctor found out on a routine check up, he laughed (a large belly laugh/ guffaw) and was shocked about it, he urged me to stop using it.

I make my own laundry soap with fels naptha as well!! It looks gross when made but boy does it save a bajillion dollars! Also if you grate lye into the washing machine it will work in a pinch if you are out of soap. It also works if you are a hunter and want to get rid of your smell. It gets rid of human smell on clothes as well.

So was this whole thing a rumor gone amok, a misunderstanding, or a change-in-heart by the folks in charge?

survey says - "YES"

Even if it was just a misunderstanding, it still proves our dedication, passion, and willingness to fight for the small things that make Silver Dollar City more than just a theme park.
