Branson- Dixie Stampede

We went to Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede yesterday and had a great time!  First we walked the grounds and got to see all the amazing horses in the stables. There were HUGE one's and really pretty one's.  

Once we checked in I got by boot mug and fancy drink...really cool!  Then we watched the pre-show of a really cool juggler that did all sorts of tricks.  After that, we went to our seats for the main show!

We had a HUGE dinner that consisted of: a whole chicken (one for each of us), pork, corn on the cob vegetable soup, biscuit, potato and dessert.....all which we had to eat with our hands - NO UTENSILS!  Can you believe it?  We ate that whole meal with our hands!  It was yummy and fun to eat like that and get messy.

The performance was cool.  We saw lots of races - baby pigs, ostriches, horses....you name it.  We also saw lots of horse tricks, dances and lots of other cool things.  It was certainly like nothing else I have ever experienced before.  

I got a really cool pink cowgirl hat...that even lights up!  I love it!  I felt just like a country girl!












Love,
