Hello from Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede!
Summer family season is in full swing at Dixie Stampede! We unveiled our brand new show feature, "Gold Rush Jubilee" and the result is lots of hootin' and hollerin'!  When's the last time you picked up a rotisserie chicken and ate it with your bare hands? And did the same with a slice of juicy pork loin? Oh, and consumed a bowl of creamy vegetable soup without the need for a spoon?  Well, that's how it is at Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede Dinner and Show, which is staged at locations in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.; Myrtle Beach, S.C.; and Branson, Mo. We attended the show Saturday night in Branson, and it was a finger food feast.  You're seated in an arena with a capacity of 1,100, that's divided into the North section, where we were, and the South section. Servers are decked out in blue or gray Civil War-era uniforms and they deliver the four-course feast with assembly-line efficiency.  After drinks are served in Mason jars, the first course, creamy vegetable soup, is poured from a pitcher into our crocks, which have a handy ladle. You drink it rather than spoon it. They call it a four-course feast, which includes soup, biscuits, a 1-pound whole rotisserie chicken, a slice of hickory smoked pork loin, corn on the cob, fresh-cut potatoes and a crispy apple turnover for dessert. If that sounds like a lot, it is-but it's all quite good. And just when you're thinking, "man, my fingers are really greasy," along comes our server, Union soldier Aaron, with a warm wet nap, just in the nick of time. Let us help put together a weekend get-a-way to Branson, Missouri which is a short drive from Fort Riley. Numerous attraction tickets and hotel accommodations available.
