Dixie Stampede

Tonight we went to see the Dixie Stampede. If you don't know what the Dixie Stampede is, it is a show that features singers, horseback riders, horse and buggies, cows, and lots of horse tricks. The theme is North vs South and when you make reservations, you choose whether you want to sit with the Northerners or the Southerners. Naturally we sat on the South. But they dress as Yanks and Confederates and compete to see who wins while you eat a grilled rotisserie chicken, a potato steak, ham, corn on the cob, and a cat head biscuit you dip in gravy. You also eat everything with your hands. It is a grand show and worth every penny. It is a show by Dolly Pardon, so you know it's good. We got the preferred seating which put us on the front row. Sarah Katherine had a fit over the horses and longhorn cattle drive. She loves horses and cows. If you are ever up in the Smokies, it's a must see.

We went there also and absolutely loved it!! It was a great performance and the food was better than I had anticipated. Did you let them make your picture at the beginning and have it put in an album?

We went to the Christmas show there last year and the year before that includes a live nativity scene, etc...AWESOME!!! I would love to go some other time of the year to see the "cattle drives"! Glad y'all are having fun:)

This is so neat. I think I may try to do this too for Jack if I am computer literate enough to figure it out. Thanks for the info for Jack's procedure. Hope y'all had a nice trip and I'm sure Sarah Katherine did just fine.
