New Events, Music Planned At Silver Dollar City For '94
      
      Each year, Silver Dollar City adds more amusement, and the 1994
   season is no exception.
      A tribute to the top 100 country songs of all time will be featured
   in a stunning new evening show at Echo Hollow amphitheater.  The two-act
   comedy, "Country America's Top 100 Hits," will involve the audience in
   song medleys and games with plenty of photo opportunities.  One production
   segment is aimed specifically at children's participation.  Musical 
   selections will run the gamut from western and love songs to gospel and
   classics.
      A dazzling new 1000-seat Oprea House will host an original musical
   production entiled, "Listen to the River," presented by a skillful cast
   of enterainers and musicians.  The story is a theatrical approach to 
   Branson area history as told by the show's narrator, the White River.
      Once the river introduces herself, she will take the audience 
   through changes in time from the arrival of eastern settles to early
   booms in logging and small town commerce.  The voice of the river 
   speaks to the audience about the unpredictable nature of change, but
   also reminds them that some things remain constant when protected and
   nutured.  Those things can include family values or the pristine path
   of a river snaking through the Ozark hills.
      Another '94 addition is Eva and Deliah's bakery, where you can watch
   the creation of world-class fruit-filled turnovers, Chocolate Cream Swans,
   Dutch Apple Dessert and other temptations.  Chef Zader's Cooking and
   Baking Classes will be among the bakery's offerings.  And there are more
   surprises in store!
      Redkneckers returs with a kneeslapping "Shenanigans" revue.  The
   new International Festival opens the season from April 10-24 with an
   appealing array of international foods, performers, costumes and
   entertainment.  April 16th marks the Grand Opening Celebration with
   parades and special shows.  A Music Festival from June 10-19 is a 20th
   Anniversary tribute and celebration of the history, heroes, food and
   music of America.  Other festivals and events will be presented through
   the close of the season on December 18th.
      Storytelling, mesquite barbecue, ongoing musical revues, the splash
   of the American Plunge and crafts are all part of the Silver Dollar City
   experience.  1994 Season Pass privileges include unlimited visits,
   discounts, a free guest pass and other extras.
