We Survived Thanksgiving & Now…

11.29.09

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!

Terry as Joan RiversOh 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!”
Amy & Terry as 'Barney'

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

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a blessed Thanksgiving – that’s what it is about.  There’s so much to be thankful for, God, family, friends, & love.

A week from today… Thanksgiving!

11.19.09

It’s hard to believe that 1 week from today will be Thanksgiving!  Even in times like this, there is so much to be thankful for.  It’s the little things that truly mean so much.  The key is laughter, no matter how bad things are, if you can laugh, it will be okay.

I’m having a great time as ‘Mr. Clarence Peabody’ who is Santa’s personal assistant at Silver Dollar City in the Carosel Barn (AKA Kringle’s Krossing).  Silver Dollar City is open Thursday-Sunday 1-9 PM & Saturdays they are open 12 noon-9:30 PM.

I’m in rehearsals for a show that I will do at Big Cedar the first 3 Saturdays in December & Christmas Eve. It’s for their tree lighting ceremony with Santa Claus.  I’m working with Amy Chamberlain who used to work as ‘Tillie’ in the Silver Dollar City saloon show.  She & I worked together in ‘Breakfast With Santa’ last year at Bass Pro in Springfield.  I’ll be playing ‘Barney Fife’ in this show.  It’s from 4:30 5:15 PM on those dates.

Thanks for dropping in to visit with me, ‘Homer Lee’ – Terry Wayne Sanders & Happy Holidays!

Happy Friday the 13th!

11.13.09

That’s right, Friday the 13th! It’s just another day in my book to have a great time! I am thrilled to be a part of Silver Dollar City’s Christmas Festival of Lights. I play Santa’s assistant, ‘Mr. Clarence Peabody’ in the Carosel Barn/Kringle’s Krossing.  Here’s a photo of me/him.  I’m with Mr. Claus Thursdays-Sundays from 2:30 until 9 PM.

I had a GREAT time entertaining the wonderful staff of Brighton Collectibles at their company party at Big Cedar last Wednesday night!  Yes, it was me & not the real Joan Rivers.  I’ve enjoyed impersonating her for the last 20 years.  I spent the day with her last February & had a ball!  I have many more appearances coming up & they will be added as the contracts are finalized.

Gas at my favorite place, AJ’s 1-Stop is $2.49.9 & if you have their AJ’s 1-Stop card it is 10 cents less, so…  See you there!  Have a great weekend & I hope to see you at Silver Dollar City or one of my other appearances!

The Time Of My Life!

11.10.09

Words can’t truly say how thankful I am for everything. Even in bad times we need to look for the silver lining! The weather has been AMAZING & since I’m on my Christmas schedule (I have full days/nights off), I am getting things done like having coffee & conversations with my wife & our sons, visiting with friends, seeing shows, etc…

If you are looking for something great & different & worth your hard earned money, go see the show ‘SIX’ at the Hughes Brothers theatre! Oh my gosh! They truly are amazing & so much fun! There is no band, they don’t need one, it’s all done with their incredible voices! If you love to laugh like I do, you will do it with them. Each brother has his own distinct personality & sense of humor.

I hope that you got to go to the ‘Promenade of Stars Parade’ last Saturday. It was filled with stars & great ones at that. Andy Williams, Debbie Boone, the Osmond brothers, Barbara Fairchild, Tony Orlando, Dino, Kathy Rigby, Neal McCoy, & the list goes on! I was ‘Terry the Tour Guide’ from the Vacation Channel & had a ball. It really was one of the BEST days of my life!

Silver Dollar City is now open for the Christmas season Thursday – Sunday & it is just beautiful! I play ‘Clarence Peabody’ assistant to Santa Claus! We are in the Carosel Barn A.K.A. Kringle’s Krossing 2:30 – 9.

Make the most of every moment!

Christmas is here… in November!

11.07.09

Merry Christmas… in November! I’ll be in the Promenade of Stars parade today. It starts at 10:30 this morning (Saturday November 7th) at White Water on Hiway 76 & ends at The Grand Village. There’s a stage set-up in front of the Titanic Museum where many performers will stop & perform.

Today is also the opening of Silver Dollar City’s Christmas Festival of Lights! Over 4,000,000 lights over the 56 acre park. I’ll be helping Santa in the Carosel Barn/Santa’s workshop everyday that they are open. The park hours are 12-9:30 on Saturdays & 1-9 Thursday-Friday & Sunday.

I pray that even in times like this, you & yours find the true meaning of Christmas. It’s about birth of a baby who changed the world & all our lives – forever. Take time to remember those who are not with us anymore, those that we do have, to laugh, & be thankful for what you do have.

God bless you for the blessings you have given me & my family!
