I have never been to a dinner show before, but that all changed a week ago when we attended Dolly’s Dixie Stampede while at Brandcation. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect but I loved it!

Denise our host from Dixie Stampede was not only helpful and friendly, but funny as well. She set us up for complimentary photos, a mug and dinner.

Dixie Stampede Pre-Show

The Dixie Stampede had a highly entertaining pre-show with a bluegrass/jazz band. The show itself was funny and the music was fantastic. Here’s a glimpse of it below since I was able to get several video clips of it….but for some reason YouTube isn’t allowing me to upload them so I can embed them into my post. So I’ll post some photos instead. Mountain Rukus even proved to us that they could play contemporary pop music in bluegrass style.

This is the table of ladies I sat with during the pre-show as we enjoyed a non-alcoholic beverage.

We sang to well known songs and clapped loudly as the musicians of the band, Mountain Rukus, displayed their singing talent while playing the banjo, fiddle, violin and bass.

Dolly’s Dixie Stampede Dinner Show

The dinner show was very good. It was different from what I expected, but not in a bad way. I don’t want to give away all the surprises so I am not sure how much to tell. The dinner was as listed on their website and video:

• A Mouth-Watering Tender Whole Rotisserie Chicken
  Delicious Hickory Smoked Barbecued Pork Loin
  Dixie Stampede’s Original Creamy Vegetable Soup
  Scrumptious Homemade Biscuit
  Hot Buttered Corn on the Cob
  Tasty Herb-basted Potato
  Dixie’s very own Specialty Dessert
  Unlimited Pepsi®, tea or coffee

They even offer a vegetarian plate that includes:

• Country Garden Vegetable Pasta
  Dixie Stampede’s Original Creamy Vegetable Soup
  Scrumptious Homemade Biscuit
  Hot Buttered Corn on the Cob
  Tasty Herb-basted Potato
  Dixie’s very own Specialty Dessert
  Unlimited Pepsi®, tea or coffee

We were fortunate to be able to visit during the Dixie Stampede’s 25th anniversary season. The actual show was very family-friendly and interactive as the audience was divided into two teams – the Union and the Confederates. We cheered and clapped for our respective sides. People from the audience were invited to participate in the show’s events too. Children shooed chickens in a race, girlfriends and boyfriends rode stick horses as they joined the cast center stage. This will be the first time I’d ever allow my children to “boo” anybody because it was all in good old fashioned fun! See a video here.
