We started the day by taking a ride on an old steam train through the Black Hills. While it wasn't as good as the Durango to Silverton train we took weeks ago, it was still enjoyable.
We then visited Bear Country USA where we drove slowly through a park filled with elk, goats, buffalo, wolves, reindeer and the requisite bears......all loose! After we finished the safari trail, we visited "baby land" which had confined cubs of different animals. The cutest were a bunch of bear cubs playing around and wrestling with one another.
Finally, we visited Fort Hayes Chuckwagon Dinner & Show for supper and entertainment. Fort Hayes was part of the movie, "Dances with Wolves" and we could see part of the sets.
Super was so-so, but the show was very enjoyable....especially for Joan who was the hit of the night. Very early in the show, one of the performers singled out the lady in teal in the front row (Joan) and created a blue balloon teddy bear for her.
Later in the show, after he got her name, favorite color and favorite dessert, the same gentleman proceeded to sing a song dedicated to Joan, the lady in teal, who loves chocolate ice cream. It was a very emotional ballad. But that was nothing compared to what happened next.
After a few more songs, he came out dressed as Elvis and proceeded to come down into the audience and sing, "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" directly to Joan. It was hysterical!!! At all the shows in Branson, Missouri, people were chosen from the audiences for various types of audience participation. Joan avoided that like the plague; but tonight they got her good!
