Howdy friends! \u00a0July is HERE & what a time to come to Branson for your vacation! \u00a0So much to see & do. \u00a0I should know I have 5 plus jobs here in the area. \u00a0Many new shows & attractions to check-out when you are here too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is my 31st season with Silver Dollar City & speaking of celebrating… \u00a0They are celebrating their 50th anniversary ALL year long! \u00a0If you were born in 1960 or if you were married in 1960 you get a FREE season pass! \u00a0Just bring proof of your birth (1 pass) or marriage (2 passes) to any ticket booth & they will issue you your FREE season passes! \u00a0You can’t buy FREE!<\/p>\n

I play several characters all day long over the entire 56 acre park! \u00a0I am off on Sunday & Monday so you won’t find me there on those days. \u00a0Here are some of the characters you might see me as…<\/p>\n

7 nights a week you will find me in The Shepherd of the Hills play! \u00a0They are also celebrating their 50th anniversary! \u00a0It is America’s largest outdoor drama filled with spectacle. \u00a0I love this show because the book, ‘The Shepherd of the Hills’ by Harold Bell Wright, it the cause of tourism in Branson! \u00a0Plus, I get to work with my family at the show. \u00a0This is our oldest son’s 9th season. \u00a0Austin started out as ‘Little Pete’ & now he does the lights & sound. \u00a0Evan is in his 6th season, he also started out as ‘Little Pete’. \u00a0For a while we had Pete & Re-Pete! \u00a0Now he does many jobs, lights\/sound, props, usher, & ‘Little Pete’. \u00a0My wife Dede plays a couple of roles in this amazing production, including ‘Mrs. Wheeler’ the lady who beats the thunder out of her husband. \u00a0I play 2 roles, ‘Ollie’ the city-slicker who’s back in town to woo ‘Sammy Lane’ & I play ‘Doc’. \u00a0His catch-phrase is, What would Sarah & the girls say?”<\/p>\n

So many places to stay at in these lovely Ozark hills! \u00a0One that is spectacular is Big Cedar Lodge!<\/p>\n

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! \u00a0They have a big festival with all of those things.<\/p>\n

What a way to make a living! \u00a0Hey, you may be thinking, “Didn’t he say 5 jobs?” \u00a0Well, I make a lot of personal appearances on the side & between jobs so… \u00a0If 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! \u00a0Just e-mail me at Mrheha@aol.com – I’m here for you!<\/p>\n

Oh don’t forget, the documentary ‘Joan Rivers – A Piece Of Work’ has been released in theatres! \u00a0It’s a no-holds-barred \u00a0look into her public & private life. \u00a0I make a cameo in it. \u00a0I 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… \u00a0Check it out. \u00a0Remember it is for MATURE audiences only.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Joan signed, "Dear Terry - Great to see you again - Joan Rivers"<\/p><\/div>\n

I have been so blessed to do what I do for a living for 31 years & to meet so many wonderful people. \u00a0It has been a joy to make people laugh & forget their troubles. \u00a0We 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.<\/p>\n

God bless you all! \u00a0Your pal, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders & my family<\/p>\n
