Wow, only 19 more days before Christmas & we are running like crazy!  Branson is booming right now.  I’m thrilled to be Santa’s helper, ‘Clarence Peabody’ at Silver Dollar City.  Here’s a photos of ‘Clarence’We had a big crowd at SDC on Saturday, 19,384 very happy campers!  Saturday was my first show at Big Cedar too as ‘Barney Fife’ & again another big crowd there.   There are people everywhere!

Amy & Terry as 'Barney'

Check-out the ‘Personal Appearances’ page on this site for all of jobs.  The show at Big Cedar is about 40 minutes of live music, ‘Barney’ & his friend ‘Missy Toe’, the lighting of the gorgeous Big Cedar Christmas tree, & Santa’s arrival in a horse-drawn wagon!  This is free & open to the public as well as the wonderful guests at Big Cedar.  They have all sorts of family activities before the show & your choice of great restaurants with amazing foods & drinks!  Dress warmly.

I have never been prouder than I was last Friday night watching our oldest son, Austin, perform with his band, ‘Quest For Fire’at the ‘Squid & Whale’ in Eureka Springs, ARK.!  It’s a metal-rock group & they are doing a lot of ‘gig’s in the area right now.  Tomorrow he will turn 19 years old!

Here’s a photo of him & another of the group.

Branson is so beautiful with all of the Christmas decor & there are bargains to be found!

Regular gas at my favorite place, AJ’s 1-Stop, as of today (Sunday, December 6th) is $2.46.9!  If you are a local they take 5 cents off & if you have their official AJ’s 1-Stop card, it’s 10 cents off per gallon!  Hello?!?  I’ll see you there!

It’s that time of year when there’s the ‘Branson shuffle’ going on in the entertainment business, a lot of shows changing their cast members, new shows trying to open-up & some are closing down.  I pray for everyone that 2010 will be a better year for them & the world.  I wish you peace, happiness, & the true meaning of the season.  Merry Christmas!  Always, your buddy, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders

We survived Thanksgiving & now… Christmas is on the way!  Hey, it’s me, ‘Homer Lee’ saying welcome to my wild/crazy world.  So much to be thankful for – mostly the little things, family, & friends too.  30 years of entertaining folks here in Branson & all over the midwest & I’ve never been bored!  This is my 30th season at Silver Dollar City & it is just breath-taking with all of the Christmas decorations & the ‘feel’ of the holidays.  I’m Santa’s assistant, ‘Clarence Peabody’ & we can be found at the Carousel Barn AKA ‘Kringle’s Krossing’ every day SDC is open.

Last night I left SDC early to make an appearance for a private party at Big Cedar as Joan Rivers!

Oh my goodness, I/we had a GREAT time with the employees of The Seymour Bank!
I have a rehearsal tomorrow (Monday) for the show that  will be doing at Big Cedar as ‘Barney Fife’.  It’s their tree lighting ceremony with live music & a show plus, Santa will be there to top it all off!  I will be working with Amy Chamberlain.  She used to work at Silver Dollar City several years ago as ‘Miss Tillie’ in the Silver Dollar Saloon.  I worked with her last year at Bass Pro in Springfield doing a Christmas show.  If you have time in your hectic Christmas schedule, come down to Bg Cedar for this great Christmas extravaganza, it will be at 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM the first 3 Saturdays of December  (5th, 12th, & 19th) & on Christmas Eve.  ‘Barney’ says, “Hey!”

I hope you have the best Christmas ever & try to keep the true meaning of the season in all that you do.  Always, your buddy, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders

It’s here… Turkey day!  We’re having a house-full & then my son, Austin & I, are off to work at Silver Dollar City.  This is my oldest son’s 2nd year to work at Silver Dollar City.  He’s a cave guide for Marvel Cave.  I will be in the Carousel Barn AKA Kringle’s Krossing as ‘Clarence Peabody’, assistant to Santa Claus.  We had a good crowd yesterday at Silver Dollar City & they are expecting a good week ALL week/weekend long.  The forecast is good & the bad weather holding off until next Monday!  On our day off of course!

Don’t forget to check-out my ‘Personal Appearances’ page.  Monday the 7th of December I will be at the Golden Corral for ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’.  Everyone is invited to this gathering of fellowship, praise, live entertainment, & a wonderful meal!  I’ll be Joan Rivers for a private party this coming Saturday at Big Cedar.  Yes, that’s you too can have ‘Joan Rivers’ for your company party at half the price of the real one!  If you’re interested in having me entertain for your group or company or even your grandmother’s 80th birthday go to the ‘Contact Me’ page of this site.

Happy Holidays to you all & I pray that despite the many hardships that are all around us, may you see the little things that truly mean so much to be thankful for.  Family is so important & even the memories those who are not with us any more are a time to reflect.  I love you all!
