Just some stuff we have

How Do, you are like me, you saved everything from your visits to SDC. I even saved the paper bags shopkeepers put my merchandise in at one time! (LOL)

I have bags from Marvel Cave Park-White with red print, SDC 1980's bags, and modern 21st century bags (these newer bags have the SDC web address on the bag and are easy to date). Funny how weird we all are!

Since the early 80's I have been an SDC Pack Rat. It would allow me to think about the place when I wasn't there. We would get home and store our items/ unpack, I would always keep my reciepts, tickets, bags etc. I have to thank my parents for allowing me to keep "trash/ junk" mostly because my Dad saved a good amount from before I was old enough to think about such things. I have searched nearly everywhere i go for SDC ephemera, and what I have not saved, others thankfully have.

Thank goodness for your dad, Rube. He took alot of photos and those are the ones we all cherish today. Thanks again for posting!

You all have inspired me to start my own Silver Dollar City collection! I wish as a kid I would have saved all of the souvenirs I came across, but at least now I have a solid start.

If you have deep pockets and want to find old, old stuff from SDC, check out Ebay. Several collectors on this site found some pretty good stuff that way. Me, I cannot afford to do that, plus my wife would kill me. She thinks I spend too much time remembering "the old days" at this site anyway, and it's free.

more..

we have a few SDC paper bags & receipts from stuff we'v bought but we always replace'm with the ones from the next year. heck, i got ol' nails & tree wood from just walkin' around the park, & cedar shavin's too. get some'a that stuff on ya'r next trip & lay it around the house..

sand it alil' & the smell comes back.

SDC has just been a part of my life & i guess it really flowed into my heart & soul as a kid, i missed out on City from the early 80s ( cuz'a being homeless, & other stupid stuff.. ) till one trip in 87 & then not till 1998. from 1990 to 2000 was spent as a crewman on a race team. so really, in the last 7 years i'm finally gettin' back into going again. we just order'd our passes for this year over the weekend!

Everyone looks like they are having a really great family time at Silver Dollar City! The cave entrance picture definitely adds a new perspective which is really neat.

sanddunerider · January 12, 2011, 03:37:56 PM

Wasn't the old Dalmatian named Buckets? He was the most loyal canine citizen out there!
