It’s the last day of September, can you believe it!?!  Silver Dollar City is celebrating their Fall Harvest Craft Festival now & it’s AMAZING!  This is my favorite season & this festival certainly sets the mood & shows some of the best crafters old & new alike this year!

I had a ball Sunday night as ‘Barney Fife’ at the 8th Annual Gospel Music Award Show.  It was open to the public & a black tie affair.

October 2nd I will be on the red carpet as Joan Rivers for the 2nd annual ‘Party with the Stars’.  This is your chance to meet some of the best entertainers in Branson & party till the cows come home. (This means I WON’T be in the Shepherd of the Hills play on Saturday, October 2nd)

“Party with The Stars” Saturday, October 2, 2010

I had a GREAT time helping out Jerry’s kids for the MDA last month.

The BIG Shepherd of the Hills auto show was a major success!  Over 800 cars & memories to last a lifetime!  Thanks to ALL of the Shepherd of the Hills employees & volunteers too!  Cooler weather now & that’s a blessing!

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

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

Silver Dollar City is celebrating their 50th Anniversary ALL season long!  If you were born in 1960 or got married in 1960 – you get a FREE season pass for the 2010 season!  You can’t buy FREE!  Just bring proof of either to the ticket booth & you have saved a lot of money!

Many people don’t know that The Beverly Hillbillies taped 5 episodes there at Silver Dollar City in 1969!  I do, it’s the only year that my family didn’t vacation there.  My dad said, “Oh we can’t go down there.  Why there’s probably 3,000 people there!”

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!  It’s called ‘Tom & Huck’s River Blast’ & it’s a must-do when you are there!

You can find me at Silver Dollar City 5 days a week.  Check my ‘Personal Appearances’ page for days & times of ALL my jobs!

This is my 4th season to be in ‘The Shepherd of the Hills’ play!  It’s their 50th Anniversary too!  This 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.  I 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.  I’m in the play EVERY night they have a show!  That’s right, 6 nights a week!  The play is ‘dark’ (Closed) on Sundays.  I have ‘Buy 1 – Get 1 FREE’ passes too.  Please, e-mail me at Mrheha@aol.com if you’d like some for your visit to America’s largest outdoor drama, ‘The Shepherd of the Hills’!

Friday, August 6th was the ‘Official’ 50th Anniversary show!  We had over 1,000 guests & many former cast-members there.  We 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!  Truly one of the most incredible nights/moments for the Shepherd of the Hills.

“I’d rather have a moment of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.”

Don’t forget about Shepherd of the Hills newest attraction located at their ‘Inspiration Tower’, it’s called ‘Vigilante’!  It’s a ‘Zip-Rider’ & I love it!  So does ‘Doc’ from the Shepherd of the Hills play!

It’s great fun & the BEST priced ‘Zip-Line’ in the area & if you are a ‘local’ – tell them, it’s even better!

This is my 13 year with my very own hour-long TV show on The Vacation Channel!  I 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!

I just taped a commercial for The Branson Chamber of commerce & had a ball there.

If you like to get back to nature & enjoy a classy/rustic place to stay while on vacation, checkout ‘Big Cedar Lodge’!  I’m ‘on-call’ there too.  From time to time I host a campfire wagon ride as ‘Deputy Birdy Tweedle’.

Call to see when I’m there, 417-335-2777.  Also you will find me there this Christmas season too!  More about that as the season gets closer.

I just made my final appearance at the Baker Creek Seed Company in Mansfield, MO. for the 2010 season but, they are still having their big festivals the 1st Sunday of every month ALL year long, January-December!  I played many characters there too!

Even with ALL of my jobs, I am so blessed to make personal appearances where ever anyone wants me.  If you have a special occasion coming up & want quality entertainment – let me know!  Just e-mail me at Mrheha@aol.com & we’ll make it happen for a time that no one will every forget!  ‘Ada Mae’ has a lot of ‘former boyfriends’ who’d love to see her again!   Joan Rivers would love to enlighten your company party too!  Or whomever you’d like to have!

Speaking of Joan Rivers…  Her new documentary has been released to theatres all across America, it’s wonderful!  It’s called, ‘Joan Rivers – A Piece Of Work’.

Plus, I’m in it too!  Yes, I spent the day with the REAL Joan 1 year ago & the film crew was with her so…

Please remember this film is for mature audiences because it has adult language.

Thanks for dropping by to check-in on me, ‘Homer Lee’.  I’ve been so blessed over these 31 years & plan on many, many more!  Always look at my ‘Personal Appearances’ page because it is constantly up-dated.  You can keep up with me on Facebook at Terry Wayne Sanders also!

My wonderful wife keeps as busy as I do, she’s a Realtor with Tri-Lakes Realty & you can reach her at dedesanders1@aol.com.

Our sons are like their parents & working all of the time, Austin our oldest is a college student, he does the lights & sound for Shepherd of the Hills play, this is his 3rd as a cave guide in Marvel Cave at Silver Dollar City, & he has his own heavy metal band called ‘Snake Fighters’ & they just completed a t 10 day tour in 3 states.

Evan is a busy young man & is in the 9th grade this fall, he does the lights & sound also at The Shepherd of the Hills play, & he mows yards.  Evan just turned 15 on August 22nd!

God bless you & yours, pray for our armed forces who protect us day & night.

Always, your pal,

Terry ‘Homer Lee’ Sanders
