The Hublers: The Dixie Stampede!

My mom wanted to get a Christmas present that everyone would like. So she bought tickets to the Dixie Stampede in Branson Missouri! So mom and dad rented a 8 passenger van and picked everyone up. It was so fun! We had 13 people in that van. We had movies going and laughing and just some good times. I couldn't take any pictures during the stampede so I took some before shots.

For those of you who don't know what the Dixie Stampede is, I'll explain. It's actually called Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede. When you walk in and give them your ticket, they take your picture, as a family, and then you can look around in the gift shop. If you are there early enough then you can watch the re-show which is usually a magician. Then you going in the stampede area. It's this big arena like thing, as shown below. One side is the South and the other side is the North. They serve you dinner of soup, rolls, corn on the cob, a small whole chicken, a piece of pork and half a potato and a apple turnover for dessert. There is no silverware so you have to use your hands. They do this thing where instead of clapping, because you would be eating, you just stomp your feet, like a stampede. The show is set up in the 1800's with live animals and cowboys and what not. They do contests between the North and South. We went to the Christmas show this time and they had a live Nativity scene. It was so cool! Anyways, then when it's all over, you go back in the gift shop or to go look at the horses that were in the show.
