What?  2010 is on the way?

Homer Lee

It’s hard to believe that is true, but it is only 2 more days!  I am looking forward to 2010 here in Branson.  This will be my 31st season at Silver Dollar City & I will be playing a plethora (Isn’t that a big word?  I don’t know what it means, but it’s big) of characters over the 56 acre 1800s theme park.  They have a new water based ride called, ‘Tom & Huck’s River Blast’!

Silver Dollar City is saying it is… America’s Biggest Water Battle! Tom and Huck have hatched a plan to take unsuspecting passengers on a REAL river adventure. Get ready to take aim at the water-armed adversaries that surround your river raft. It’s waterlogged chaos!

It will be located where the carousel, balloon ride, & Tom Sawyer’s Landing were & it will be ready in time for  Silver Dollar City’s grand celebration for their 50th anniversary!  If you like to get wet & have fun, this will be for you!

2010 will be my 4th year at ‘The Shepherd of the Hills’ play. Last year I was ‘Doc’ (The old man who’s catch-phrase is, “What would Sarah & the girls say?”) 4 nights a week & ‘Ollie’ (The young man in the old car) 3 nights a week.  My wife, Dede & our 2 sons will be back there too.

This will be my 13th year on The Vacation Channel with my own hour-long TV show.  It’s called. ‘Branson Country’ & I play Terry the Tour Guide.  I have such a great time filming that show too!

Things are slowly turning around & I truly believe 2010 will be a much better year for everyone.  I have many personal appearances coming up & that page will be up-dated on those dates as soon as the contracts are signed & sealed!  Don’t forget…  I have BIG news coming to this site on New Year’s Day!  That’s right, January 1st come back here & find out!

If you are wanting to see me this last day at Silver Dollar City, well, if you ride the steam train & watch ‘Grandpa’ telling the story out in the woods, & you like the lighted scene behind him…  That’s me doing the lights from an old cabin!

Thanks for visiting with me here at Homerlee.com, it means the world to me!  Take care & have a safe & special Happy New Year!  Always, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders

Happy day after Christmas!  I hope that you & yours had a great time, we sure did.  It was a very simple Christmas celebration this year.  Our tree had only 5 gifts under it, one for each of us & then one to the whole family.  We normally send out 1,100 Christmas cards, but due to the economy we sent none except for an e-letter to all of those that we have e-mail addresses of.  When things turn around in 2010 we will try to send out 2 photo cards next Christmas!  LOL!

I have 5 days left at Silver Dollar City.  Normally you can find me rather easily due to my ‘inventive’ characters over the 56 acre park, but for the remaining 5 days, December 26th-30th, I will be doing the lights for the show that they do on the train ride.  I will be in a heated cabin by the tracks!  Praise the Lord! Send me an e-mail here at Mrheha@aol.com or Facebook me at Terry Wayne Sanders & join the over 1,060 happy people who follow me!  I’d love to hear from you this winter.

Remember, I have BIG news coming up for 2010!  Stay tuned here at Homerlee.com for this BIG news.  I am so excited & it will be announced on January 1st, 2010 right HERE!

God bless you all & my/our sincere thanks for all the love & support you & yours have shown me/us over my 30 years of entertaining not only here in Branson over that time period, but for all of the countless road shows with the Wilkinson Brothers Music Show, The Braschler Music  Show, & my 1, 2, &  3-man shows over the United States.  I look very forward to continuing this love of laughter & entertainment for many years to come!  I do have personal appearances coming up so check those out on the ‘Personal Appearances’ page on this site.  The up-date will be posted on January 1st, 2010!

Have a Happy & safe New Year!  We all want to  have fun & enjoy the moment, but use your head too. Don’t drink & drive.  It’s not worth taking your life or the lives of innocent people.  God bless you all!  Happy Holidays, Happy New Year & may I be the first one to say, “Merry Christmas” to you for 2010!!!

Always, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders

Only 2 more days until Christmas!  From our home to yours, we want to wish you only the best for 2010 & Merry Christmas!

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!

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.

Again, Merry Christmas to you all & thanks for your love & support.  Always, your buddy, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders

Hey everyone, it’s me, Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders.

From my home to yours, my family & I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!  There’s only 8 more days until Christmas & we are nowhere near ready for it.

There are only 9 more days of the Silver Dollar City’s Christmas Festival!  This week Thursday-Sunday & then they will take December 21st-25th OFF & then their FINAL week for 2009 is December 26th-30th!  This will be my final week as ‘Clarence Peabody’ Assistant to Santa Claus. He & I can be found in the Carousel Barn AKA Kringle’s Krossing from 2:30-9 (Thursday, Friday, & Sunday) 2:30-9:30 on Saturday.  Santa will NOT be there after the 20th so…  Come on down!

AJ’s, my favorite place to fill-up has regular at $2.46.9!  that’s a great deal & on my way to Silver Dollar City I will be there so I hope to see you there too!  If you are a ‘local’ they give you a 5 cent discount per gallon & if you are smart, you’ll have their AJ’s 1-Stop card & that gives you a 10 cent discount!

You have only 2 more chances to see me as ‘Barney Fife’ at Big Cedar!  This coming Saturday I will be in a show/tree lighting ceremony from 4:30-5:15 at Big Cedar with ‘Missy Toe’ & Ho-Ho himself!  The last performance will be on Christmas Eve again from 4:30-5:15.  It’s open to the public, there’s lots of GREAT things for the kids to do before the show.  Plus, how can you go wrong at such a spectacular place as Big Cedar?!?  They do things right!

Stay tuned, I have BIG news regarding the Sundance Film Festival coming-up the last week of January, 2010! (Hint, me with the REAL Joan Rivers)  Stay tuned!

Thanks for everything this year.  We really do wish you & yours only the best this holiday season & Merry Christmas again!
