Silver Dollar City

We got lucky Friday morning. A family was leaving and stopped us
in the parking lot and gave us 4 tickets to Silver Dollar City, no
charge. These are about $45 per adult and half as much for kids.
We were not planning on going there but this was too good to pass up.
It turns out it is really a cool place to go during the holiday season.
There are all kinds of things going on. We saw a little concert by
a Cajun group and a kind of Broadway version of Dickens's Christmas
Carol. The strangest thing about this play was a scene during the
visit of the third ghost where an angel stood up in the cemetery and
sang Ave Maria! Kind of a Romanized version of the story I guess.
There is also a live Nativity scene which we unfortunately didn't get
to see. The train ride at night was also nice. And there is a huge
lighted Christmas tree near the entrance of the park which is all
lit up in flashing lights. Well there were lights all over the park
actually. It was a great way to finish the week and our vacation.
This photo was not staged. I just asked a park worker passing by
to take it. Pretty cool with the light ray flare isn't it?
