The BIG Shepherd of the Hills auto show was a major success! \u00a0Over 800 cars & memories to last a lifetime! \u00a0Thanks to ALL of the Shepherd of the Hills employees & volunteers too! \u00a0Cooler weather now & that’s a blessing!<\/p>\n

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

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

It’s September & it’s cool here in Branson! \u00a0I should know, this is my 31st season in this amazing Ozarkian town. \u00a0I’ve been in many shows as well as on TV, at theme parks, & any venue that asks me to perform there!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is my 31st season to perform at Silver Dollar City! \u00a0I’m very proud of my work there to entertain literally millions of people over those years. \u00a0I’m one of the ‘Image Characters’ there & I play 4-5 characters a day over the entire 56 acre 1800s theme park. \u00a0Here are a few of them…<\/p>\n

Silver Dollar City is celebrating their 50th Anniversary ALL season long! \u00a0If you were born in 1960 or got married in 1960 – you get a FREE season pass for the 2010 season! \u00a0You can’t buy FREE! \u00a0Just bring proof of either to the ticket booth & you have saved a lot of money!<\/p>\n

Many people don’t know that The Beverly Hillbillies taped 5 episodes there at Silver Dollar City in 1969! \u00a0I do, it’s the only year that my family didn’t vacation there. \u00a0My dad said, “Oh we can’t go down there. \u00a0Why there’s probably 3,000 people there!”<\/p>\n

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

For 2010 they have a new ride that is a lot of fun & you will get soaked on it, I know because I did ride it & it felt so good! \u00a0It’s called ‘Tom & Huck’s River Blast’ & it’s a must-do when you are there!<\/p>\n

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

This is my 4th season to be in ‘The Shepherd of the Hills’ play! \u00a0It’s their 50th Anniversary too! \u00a0This is the largest outdoor drama in America filled with spectacle, horses, mules, they burn a log cabin, a wonderful love story, & comic relief… some of that from me. \u00a0I play 2 characters in the play, ‘Doc’ who’s catch-phrase is “What would Sarah & the girls say?” & ‘Ollie’ the city-slicker want-to-be. \u00a0I’m in the play EVERY night they have a show! \u00a0That’s right, 6 nights a week! \u00a0The play is ‘dark’ (Closed<\/strong><\/span>) on Sundays. \u00a0I have ‘Buy 1 – Get 1 FREE’<\/strong><\/span> passes too. \u00a0Please, e-mail me at Mrheha@aol.com<\/span><\/strong> if you’d like some for your visit to America’s largest outdoor drama, ‘The Shepherd of the Hills’!<\/p>\n

Friday, August 6th was the ‘Official’ 50th Anniversary show! \u00a0We had over 1,000 guests & many former cast-members there. \u00a0We ended the show with our usual salute to the veterans, then an amazing fireworks display & invited everyone in attendance to come down for FREE cake & ice cream on the set! \u00a0Truly one of the most incredible nights\/moments for the Shepherd of the Hills.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’d rather have a moment of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.\u201d<\/h3>\n

Don’t forget about Shepherd of the Hills newest attraction located at their ‘Inspiration Tower’, it’s called ‘Vigilante’! \u00a0It’s a ‘Zip-Rider’ & I love it! \u00a0So does ‘Doc’ from the Shepherd of the Hills play!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>This is my 13 year with my very own hour-long TV show on The Vacation Channel! \u00a0I play ‘Terry the Tour Guide’ & I give you a guided tour about town & the surrounding area filled with GREAT information to make your vacation even more memorable!<\/p>\n
