It has been a busy & very trying year for everyone including us, but we have faith & know everything will work out – it always does.

Don’t forget, you have one more chance to see me as ‘Barney Fife’ at Big Cedar on Christmas Eve!  It’s a show & tree lighting event from 4:30-5:15 on the main grounds at Big Cedar.  It’s open to the public as well as the guests.  If the weather is rainy they will move it inside the convention hall there.

All 4 of us look forward to being back in ‘The Shepherd of the Hills’ play in 2010.  The play will open-up  in May of 2010.  In 2009, Dede played ‘Mrs. Wheeler’, Evan was ‘Little Pete’, Austin did the lights & sound, & I played ‘Doc’ & ‘Ollie Stewart’.

Silver Dollar City is closed December 21st-25th for Christmas, but they’ll open up again December 26th-30th.  I have been playing a new character called ‘ Mr. Clarence Peabody’ who’s Santa’s assistant.  Working with Santa was a dream come true.  He won’t be there the final 5 days.  We closed-up shop & he’s preparing for his big night, December 24th!

'Clarence' helps Santa with his coat.

Santa waves good-bye for now as 'Clarence' stands by his side.

'Clarence' & Santa walk into the moonlight discussing their wonderful 2 months meeting thousands of kids & adults as well.

Can you believe it?  Only 6 more days until Christmas!

From my family to you & yours, we want to wish you only the best this holiday season & a very prosperous New Year!  Merry Christmas!

This is your last chance to see Santa & I as ‘Mr. Clarence Peabody’ at the Carousel Barn, AKA Kringle’s Krossing.  That’s right, today & Sunday will be our final days there.  

Silver Dollar City will be closed December 21st-25th & RE-OPEN December 26th-30th!  I will be there those last 5 days doing the lights for the Christmas show on the train ride.

What an honor & thrill to work with Santa, he’s a joyous & very kind man with a true love for those who still believe in the real meaning of Christmas.

I’m looking forward to some down time with my family this winter.

You know me, I will have some road shows coming up & some exciting things too!

Those will be posted after Christmas & I can’t wait to share them with you.  God is good & we are very thankful for all that He has done for us.

I have 2 more appearances at Big Cedar as ‘Barney Fife’, that will be tonight at 4:30 & our last show will be Christmas Eve again, at 4:30!  It’s open to the public & I hope to see you there.
