Ours came too.

Of note:
A couple of concept pictures of the new light parade.
Last year for Pinkerton
Would love to see Carrie Nation look like the poster pictured
Only a couple of shows listed for Star-Spangled Summer - Hope there's more to offer than that
No mention of Christmas ornaments, but I think that's typical, though I don't know why

I think the "TIMES" should continue.  I dont know the exact cost of these things, but it must be cheap cheap.  I just got in a whole big bunch of trouble at work. I made a mistake on 10,000 books for Emerson Fans.  The folks at Emerson Fans has agreed to the "fix" that we offered, but would like the whole job FREE. The whole job was 50,000 books, and our bill to them was $10,159.   So I know a cheap flyer that gets printed on cheap paper, folded, inkjet, mail all inline. Plus getting the cheaper USPS rates for "flats".  Cant cost much

So I say bring on the "times". a few times a year.  Maybe even all 4 seasons.  Bring It.  Keep it comin SDC.

Got mine in the mail yesterday. I'm excited for the return of a magic show to the summer festival. I'm also excited about the acts listed for world fest. I skipped sdc for the past two years so looking forward to this year.

Got mine Saturday the 11th.

I'm excited about Carrie Nation making a comeback at the Saloon, since she was before my time, but I'm uber-sad, too, 'cause I didn't make it to the Saloon last year to see the Mean Murphy show, which I was really excited about because Mean Murphy was at the Saloon around the time I started going to the park as a kid.

I would love to see Carrie bust up the bar like in the old days but I wont count on it.  I was told they removed all the gags years ago.

so no fancy mirror from Saint Looey then?

[qwed94]

got my March issue of the "Times" today (Feb 15).  havent even popped the wafer seals yet. Sitting here starring at it though. I cant wait to rip it open.

[How-doFolks]

Parents, my brother, & us, all got ours yesterday.

Nope no mirror anymore beck behind the other one.  They have pulled these things out of the saloon.  Just like the painting that covered itself after Carrie called it shameless.  The old strobes and the fight was the fun of the saloon.
Shelves knocked off the wall, the curtain on the stage being pulled part way down........ ect
I was told by a reliable source that the reason Carrie left in the first place was complaints to SDC by patrons that were offended that Carrie was making fun of the televangelists in her comical delivery.  SDC has suffered by trying to please all partys and trying to be too politically correct.  I say lets play a little looser with our comedy and enjoy ourselves.  Bring back Carrie 2.0. with the axes, strobe lights, broken mirrors, knocked down shelves and pulled curtains.  They go together!

[History Buff]

Agreed.  (Those televangelists of the late 19th century were just asking for it anyway!)

mhguy77, that is the first time I've ever heard that thing about televangelists, but it makes sense. SDC goes with the flow, and if folks don't want to see something...it will be gone. Funny though throughout the '70s nobody lodged complaints, and times outside the park changed, so that is what led to the show at the saloon changing.
