Howdy friends!  July is HERE & what a time to come to Branson for your vacation!  So much to see & do.  I should know I have 5 plus jobs here in the area.  Many new shows & attractions to check-out when you are here too.

This is my 31st season with Silver Dollar City & speaking of celebrating…  They are celebrating their 50th anniversary ALL year long!  If you were born in 1960 or if you were married in 1960 you get a FREE season pass!  Just bring proof of your birth (1 pass) or marriage (2 passes) to any ticket booth & they will issue you your FREE season passes!  You can’t buy FREE!

I play several characters all day long over the entire 56 acre park!  I am off on Sunday & Monday so you won’t find me there on those days.  Here are some of the characters you might see me as…

They also have a new ride in celebration of their 50th anniversary.  It’s called ‘Tom & Huck’s River Blast’  You WILL get wet!

7 nights a week you will find me in The Shepherd of the Hills play!  They are also celebrating their 50th anniversary!  It is America’s largest outdoor drama filled with spectacle.  I love this show because the book, ‘The Shepherd of the Hills’ by Harold Bell Wright, it the cause of tourism in Branson!  Plus, I get to work with my family at the show.  This is our oldest son’s 9th season.  Austin started out as ‘Little Pete’ & now he does the lights & sound.  Evan is in his 6th season, he also started out as ‘Little Pete’.  For a while we had Pete & Re-Pete!  Now he does many jobs, lights/sound, props, usher, & ‘Little Pete’.  My wife Dede plays a couple of roles in this amazing production, including ‘Mrs. Wheeler’ the lady who beats the thunder out of her husband.  I play 2 roles, ‘Ollie’ the city-slicker who’s back in town to woo ‘Sammy Lane’ & I play ‘Doc’.  His catch-phrase is, What would Sarah & the girls say?”

I’m in my 13th season on The Vacation Channel as ‘Terry the Tour Guide’. This hour-long show is called ‘Branson Country’ & it keeps you up-to-date on what’s happening in Branson & the surrounding areas, plus weather up-dates 4 times every hour!  That’s channel 6 locally.

So many places to stay at in these lovely Ozark hills!  One that is spectacular is Big Cedar Lodge!

And yes, I work there too!  I host an hour-long campfire wagon ride as ‘Deputy Birdy Tweedle’  Call 417-335-2777 to confirm that days & times that I am there.

If you are a gardener, love the great outdoors, fresh produce, crafts galore, & entertainment come to the Baker Creek Seed Company in Mansfield, MO. the 1st Sunday of every month!  They have a big festival with all of those things.

Oh yeah, I work there too!  I play several characters there as well!  August will be my LAST appearance there so…  See you Sunday, August 1st!

What a way to make a living!  Hey, you may be thinking, “Didn’t he say 5 jobs?”  Well, I make a lot of personal appearances on the side & between jobs so…  If you’d like to have me, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders (Or any of my other characters) come & entertain you or your company, let me know!  Just e-mail me at Mrheha@aol.com – I’m here for you!

Oh don’t forget, the documentary ‘Joan Rivers – A Piece Of Work’ has been released in theatres!  It’s a no-holds-barred  look into her public & private life.  I make a cameo in it.  I spent the day with the real Joan last year & the film crew found out that I was from Branson, an entertainer, & that I impersonate her so…  Check it out.  Remember it is for MATURE audiences only.

I have been so blessed to do what I do for a living for 31 years & to meet so many wonderful people.  It has been a joy to make people laugh & forget their troubles.  We still need to pray for our troupes/armed forces who protect our freedoms everyday & for this horrible oil spill that must be stopped now in the Gulf.

God bless you all!  Your pal, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders & my family
