Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede is cowboy extravaganza and culinary surprise.

Open stalls along the covered walk from the parking lot contain horses prepared for the show.










Some of the lobby exhibits and signs are shown here.

This cowboy rode both horses around the arena and they effortlessly leaped through the ring of fire,

The arena is surrounded by long counters that serve as tables for the food and beverages.  The audience received Cornish hens, pork slices, potato halves, corn and apple turnovers.  While the food was delicious, the absence of flatware made eating with the hands awkward

Horses and riders performed flawlessly and sets were lowered from the center with actors and actresses. It was, as advertised, remarkably dust free.
