*Construction of
RR-DE Museum*
Roy Rogers - Dale Evans Museum
&
Happy Trails Theatre
Groundbreakin'
Tuesday, September 3, 2002 was the groundbreakin' ceremonies of the *Roy Rogers - Dale Evans Museum & 'Happy Trails Theatre'* It was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! Did ya'll read & hear that, 'Happy Trails Theatre'!!
There were 'bout 100-150 people there to help celebrate the occasion. Branson Mayor at the time, Louis Schaefer and two of Branson's Board of Aldermen, along with the Branson Fire Chief were among the city officals who welcomed Dusty & Linda, Dustin, Julie and little Tyler Roy, and Mindy & John (Mindy is Roy & Dale's grandaughter, and one of 'Rogers Legacy'), to 'The Ozarks' & 'Ozark Mountian Country'. Many of Roy & Dale's loyal fans were on hand to join in the celebration! They came from all over the world!
Here are the photos Buffalo Jim took at the Official Ground Breakin' of the future **Roy Rogers - Dale Evans Museum & Happy Trails Theatre** in Branson, MO.
Evan little *Tyler Roy* had his own little shovel! It was so cute to watch him shovel dirt, in honor of his Great Grandpa Roy & Great Grandma Dale. It was a pleasure to watch them push their shovels down into SW Missouri's rich earth. Believe Tyler got some of our Missouri soil, close to his mouth! Tee Hee!!
Bein' from 'The Ozarks' almost all my life, I can tell y'all I feel SO PRIVLEDGED to have the museum & theatre right here in "OZARK MOUNTAIN COUNTRY". I know I speak for THOUSANDS of others!!!!!!
What an honor to have been part of this memorable day, in Cowboy & Western Heritage history!
What a day it was!! For this will be a memory, that Buffalo Jim & I'll NEVER FORGET and we'll cherish, for the rest of our lives!!
From the Groundbreakin', to the final touches on the buildin'; we have for ya right here, photos that were taken by Buffalo Jim amd me durin' the different stages of the ten months construction. Hope ya'll will enjoy viewin' them!!
